Using the Central Configuration Manager

You should use the Local Configuration Manager to initialize each of the NJ205 IntelliJacks installed on your network. Once you have completed that step, you can manage all of them with the Central Configuration Manager.

Install this program on any computer on your network you want to use as a central management console. (See the previous chapter, “Installing the Configuration Managers,” for help). You can use the same machine that has your SNMP-based management platform. The Central Configuration Manager will be able to configure and manage all of the IntelliJacks that reside on your network.

Discovering NJ205 Devices on Your Network

In order to manage the NJ205 IntelliJacks on your network, the Central Configuration Manager needs to include them in its database. The easiest way to add new NJ205 IntelliJacks to the database is to use the device discovery tool included in the Central Configuration Manager. The first time you run the Central Configuration Manager, it will automatically take you to the Discovery window as shown under step one below.
