Branch Gateway Manager:

1. Branch Gateway Manager

Branch Gateway Manager is an application for viewing and editing an Avaya Branch Gateway system's configuration. It is

a tool for system installers and maintainers.

Branch Gateway Manager runs on a Windows PC and connects to the system via Ethernet LAN or WAN connections.

· WARNING - Password Changes Required

New systems use default security settings. These settings must be changed to make the system secure. As a

minimum, you must change the default passwords of the Security Administrator, the default Service Users

and the Unsecured Interfaces System Password. Failure to do so will render the system potentially unsecure.

See the Security Mode section for details.

· IMPORTANT - Branch Gateway Manager is an Off-Line Editor

Branch Gateway Manager is an off-line editor. It receives a copy of the system's current configuration settings.

Changes are made to that copy and it is then sent back to the system for those changes to become active. This

means that changes to the active configuration in the system that occur between Branch Gateway Manager

receiving and sending back the copy may be overwritten. For example, this may affect changes made by a user

through their phone or voicemail mailbox after the copy of the configuration is received by Branch Gateway

Manager.
