USING THE

4 CENTRAL CONFIGURATION MANAGER

 

You should use the Local Configuration Manager to initialize each of the NJ220

 

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 chapter 2, “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.

 

We recommend that you keep the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) running

 

on your machine. Information such as traps and alerts are sent tot he CCM on a

 

periodic basis. If you shut off the machine or close the configuration manager, you

 

will not be able to receive this information.

Discovering NJ220

In order to manage the NJ220 IntelliJacks on your network, the Central

Devices on Your

Configuration Manager needs to include them in its database. The easiest way to

Network

add new NJ220 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 two below. To discover

 

new devices on your network, run the following steps:
