SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

Description

The software that controls System 25 operation consists of tables located in system memory. These tables contain data associated with:

●Trunk, Station, and Auxiliary Equipment Ports

●System Parameters

●Direct Group Calling Groups

●Toll Calls Allowed Lists

● Peripheral Equipment Data Communications Parameters

● Automatic Route	Selection.
Collectively, these software tables		are referred	to as translations.	The system	comes
e q u i p p e d w i t h d e f a u l t	t r a n s l a t i o n s	d a t a ; when	full-default cold	started, the	default

translations are copied into translation memory.

System Administration is the process of managing the translations by making changes to modify system operation to meet customer requirements.

The System 25 Implementation Manual describes how a system can be configured to meet specific customer needs. Information about a desired configuration is recorded on a set of forms that are used when entering the initial system translations (i.e., initializing the system). These forms are filed in the Administration Records Binder and provide the basis for on-going record keeping.

Modification of initial assignments can be made to meet changing customer needs.

The system provides	an EIA RS-232 interface		to a System		Administration Terminal (SAT),
the primary means of entering and modifying translations.
System 25 administration consists of:
● Centralized	Administration:	Configuration		of	the	system and assignment of
feature-related parameters, i n c l u d i n g			a s s i g n m e n t		o f f e a t u r e b u t t o n s o n v o i c e
terminals. Centralized Administration		is	performed	via the		SAT.

●Advanced Administration: T h e A d v a n c e d A d m i n i s t r a t i o n S o f t w a r e ( A A S ) package is a major improvement in system management. It provides the System Administrator a user-friendly, powerful tool for accurately and quickly making changes in voice/data terminal assignments, call coverage, access codes, and other system functions such as ARS.

The software operates on a PC6300 (with 512K ram) and provides an alternative to use of the SAT input terminal.

A main menu gives the user ready access for these tasks:

— Adding/changing/removing voice station assignments

—Adding/removing users to and from coverage groups

—Saving translations.
