User's Manual

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.
Note:
If you are going to use Network Management for centralized management of the B5800
Branch Gateway system, Network Management (NM) 6.0, NM 6.0 SP2, plus an additional
B5800 Branch Gateway patch hosted on the Avaya support web site must be installed and
configured.
For more information about Network Management, see the Avaya Integrated Management 6.0
Network Management Configuration guide which is available on the Avaya support web site.
