Introduction

System Manager’s Responsibilities

As the IS-III System Manager, you are responsible for performing the following tasks:

■adding passwords initially and changing them periodically

Maintaining passwords for both logging in and accessing each application from within IS III helps protect the system from unauthorized access. See Chapter 4 for the procedures to add and change passwords.

NOTE:

In addition to adding and changing passwords, the System Manager is responsible for all aspects of system security. See “Security” later in this chapter.

■backing up the system regularly (daily, weekly, or monthly)

The frequency of your backups depends on how up-to-date you want your call accounting records, administrative files, voice files, and fax files to be when you recover from catastrophic failure or any restore. For example, if these files and records change daily, you should back up the system daily. Conversely, if these files and records change no more than once a month, monthly backup is appropriate.

■checking and maintaining disk usage space regularly (daily, weekly, or monthly)

Access the Disk Usage Report and check if there are too many Call Accounting records, voice messages, and fax messages. You must monitor these records and messages regularly and maintain disk space for optimal system performance.

■shutting down and rebooting the system properly once a month, when the system is idle

By using the procedures in Chapter 4 to shut down and reboot the system at regular intervals, you are able to check the status of the entire system and possibly prevent major problems.
