intuitive, hierarchical navigation tree. Different views of the tree allow the administrator to view
the network by IP subnet, by device type, or logically by voice systems.
Elements in the navigation tree are color coded to indicate fault status. Network Management
Console also serves as a focal point for viewing fault event notifications, which are collected
and displayed in the Event Browser. The administrator can also configure actions to be
executed upon receipt of particular types of notifications.
Network Management Console serves as a launch point for all applications included in the
Network Management with IP Office Manager offer. Applications can be easily launched from
the menu bar, either globally, or focused on a device selected in the navigation tree. Launching
IP Office Manager for a particular device presents additional information not presented in the
system view. Network Management Console also provides built-in capabilities to launch a telnet
or web browser session on the selected device in the tree.
IP Office Manager
Internet Protocol (IP) Office Manager is an application for viewing and editing an IP Office
system configuration. IP Office Manager is an off-line editor. This means that it receives a copy
of the current IP Office system configuration. Changes are made to the copy and then sent back
to the IP Office system for those changes to become active. This means that changes to the
active configuration in the system that occur between Manager receiving and sending back the
copy may be overwritten. For example this may affect changes made by users through their
phone or voicemail mailbox after the copy of the configuration is received by Manager.
IP Office Manager performs a number of functions for IP Office systems.
- Configuration Settings Editor - In configuration mode, Manager is used to edit
configuration settings for IP Office systems. Those settings control the call and data
function that the IP Office system provides to users and callers. Refer to the
Configuration Mode section.
- Security Settings Editor - In security mode, Manager is used to edit the security
settings of IP Office 3.2+ systems. Those settings are used to control user access to the
configuration settings of the IP Office. Refer to the Security Mode section.
- Upgrade Wizard - The Upgrade Wizard is a component of Manager used to upgrade the
firmware run by the control unit and expansion modules within an IP Office system
- Embedded Memory Card Management - For systems with a compact flash card
installed, the IP Office 4.2+ Manager can be used to view and manage the files stored on
the card. This is accessed through the File | Advanced | Embedded File Management... .
- BOOTP Server - Manager acts as a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server, providing
software files in response to BOOTP requests from IP Office systems. This task is
required for maintenance. This function can be switched off if not required.
- Time Server - Manager acts as an Internet Time server (RFC868), providing the time in
response to requests for IP Office systems. This function can be switched off if not
required.
