Configuration manual

Chapter 15: Standalone SAL Gateway for
remote service
Avaya Client Services (ACS) uses the Secure Access Link (SAL) Gateway to provide remote delivery of
service to the B5800 Branch Gateway. The supported configuration requires a standalone SAL gateway
that is deployed in the enterprise headquarters/data center and using the B5800 Branch Gateway
administration applications — Manager, System Status, and System Monitor. See
Administration software
suite on page 79 for a description of these applications.
SAL Gateway R2.1 software must be installed on a customer-provided server in the enterprise at a central
location that allows for network connectivity to each deployed branch. The SAL solution is fully customer
controlled through the deployment and use of the optional SAL policy server.
Note:
SAL Gateway does not support alarming for B5800 Branch Gateway managed devices in CS 1000
deployments.
Note:
System Platform's Virtual SAL Gateway (VSALGW) is not supported in managing each individual
branch. The VSALGW is only officially supported by Avaya in management of system platform “on-
board” devices such as System Platform, Session Manager and System Manager. Each B5800 Branch
Gateway branch is considered an “off-board” device.
Use of SAL to access the B5800 Branch Gateway
administration tools and System Manager
You are able to access the B5800 Branch Gateway administration tools and Avaya Aura
®
System Manager through SAL.
• Manager
Manager is an administration tool used to configure and upgrade the B5800 Branch
Gateway system. You can use Manager to administer each branch individually. You are
able to use SAL to access the Manager application for local or remote configuration
management of the B5800 Branch Gateway system.
