Strata eManager

Introduction

The Strata CIX systems are programmed using eManager. eManager R5.1 (R5.10A07 or later) can be

used to program all CIX and CTX systems. This section includes the process for using eManager on the

MAS or a stand-alone PC and shows how to install the eManager software on your PC to connect to the

Strata CIX system.

eManager

eManager is a powerful telephone system administration tool used to program, maintain and upgrade the

Strata CIX Digital Business Telephone System and Stratagy ES Voice Mail System. eManager resides on

the Media Application Server (MAS) or can be loaded on a Server with network access to the CIX or on a

laptop PC (see “Install or Upgrade eManager Software” on page 2-13 for specifications).

eManager combines administration and management of the two previously separate applications,

telephone system and voice mail, into combined menus allowing technicians and system administrators to

program both together and eliminate many duplicate steps. New User Profile is designed to record

equipment, user privileges, and authenticate the users during login. The User Profile allows organizing the

equipment into domain groups of networked systems and presenting them in a tree. The user can select

on the tree which equipment they want to access for administration.

eManager can be accessed locally over the LAN or with proper network security, remotely over the

Internet, and because it is used from the user’s Web browser, no special software is required to be loaded

on the client user’s PC. The Web browser must be Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 or above.

eManager on the MAS can be used through the keyboard and monitor connected to the MAS or from any

PC with network access using the Windows XP remote desktop function.

Note At this time eManager only supports Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer. Other browsers are not

supported. To use eManager with Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 7 make the following

changes to your Internet Explorer settings:

Select Tools > Internet Options. Click on the Security tab. Select Internet then

click on Custom Level. Scroll down to “Initialize and script ActiveX controls not

marked as safe” and set to Enable.

Click on the Security tab, select Internet. Click on Custom Level. Scroll down to

the Scripting section to “Allow status bar update via script” and set to Enable.
