System Administration
Description
The software that controls System 25 operation consists of tables located in system memory.
These tables contain data associated with:
● Trunk, Station, and Auxiliary Equipment Ports
● System Parameters
● Direct Group Calling Groups
● Toll Calls Allowed Lists
● Peripheral Equipment Data Communications Parameters
● Automatic Route Selection.
Collectively, these software tables are referred to as translations. The system comes
equipped with default translations data; when full-default cold started, the default translations
are copied into translation memory.
System Administration is the process of managing the translations by making changes to
modify system operation to meet customer requirements.
The System 25 Implementation Manual describes how a system can be configured to meet
specific customer needs.
Information about a desired configuration is recorded on a set of
forms that are used when entering the initial system translations (i.e., initializing the system).
These forms are filed in the Administration Records Binder and provide the basis for on-
going record keeping.
Modification of initial assignments can be made to meet changing
customer needs.
The system provides an EIA RS-232 interface to a System Administration Terminal (SAT), the
primary means of entering and modifying translations.
System 25 administration consists of:
● Centralized Administration: Configuration of the system and assignment of feature-
related parameters, including assignment of feature buttons on voice terminals.
Centralized Administration is performed via the SAT.
● Advanced Administration: The Advanced Administration Software (AAS) package is
a major improvement in system management. It provides the System Administrator a
user-friendly, powerful tool for accurately and quickly making changes in voice/data
terminal assignments, coverage, access codes, and other system functions such as
ARS.
Two sets of software are available for Advanced Administration. One set operates
on a PC6300 (with 640K RAM) and provides an alternative to use of the SAT input
terminal. The other runs on the Master Controller (UNIX PC) as part of the
“Integrated Solution.”
