Manager. A combination of these methods can be used for PSTN calls based on the call type
(local, national, international), time of day or even individual user. See Branch PSTN call routing
examples on page 325 for more information.
Voicemail support options
B5800 Branch Gateway supports a range of options for voicemail services to the branch's
native users. It supports embedded voicemail for native branch users and auto attendants for
external PSTN trunks. This can be changed to using a local Voicemail Pro voicemail server or
to using the central Modular Messaging server. In the later mode the B5800 Branch Gateway
can still use the local Embedded Voicemail for announcements to waiting callers and for auto
attendants.
Centralized management
The Network Management offer is a suite of software applications that enable centralized
management of the B5800 Branch Gateway system. It provides a single access interface to
manage multiple branch locations. The suite of applications include:
• Avaya Network Management Console — allows you to view the devices in the network.
• Manager — allows you to view and edit individual branches in the B5800 Branch Gateway
system.
• Avaya Provisioning and Installation Manager — allows you to provision and install large
numbers of B5800 Branch Gateway devices simultaneously through the use of templates
and bulk provisioning to a group of devices.
Note:
• When using Network Management to create a hardware template, Manager provides
the IP500v2 and ABG B5800 control units as options. Be sure to select ABG B5800.
IP500v2 is not supported in branch mode.
• The B5800 Branch Gateway system is referred to as IP Office in the Network
Management applications.
If you do not have the Network Management applications installed on a server in your network,
you can use Manager to administer each branch in the system. Manager is an off-line editor.
This means that it receives a copy of the current branch configuration. Changes are made to
the copy and then sent back to the branch for those changes to become active.
