Avaya 1.3 manual Converting the Security Database

Converting the Security Database

●If your NetWare SDB contained Tlink groups or Admin Access Groups, these group objects remain, but they will no longer contain any Tlinks. You will need to add the new Tlink names to these groups.

●You may add Tlink members to your Tlink groups and Admin Access Groups by editing the conversion file. However, it will probably be easier to make these changes using the TSA or TSA32 applications after you have loaded the conversion file into your SDB.

b.Convert IPX addresses to IP addresses.

●If you plan to use the "Extended Worktop Access" feature and you are migrating from an IPX network to an IP network, you need to convert the network addresses in each worktop record. You do not need to remove the IPX information in the conversion file. You can let Telephony Services fill in the IP Address or IP host name (depending on your choice in the "TCP Preferred Naming Format" field).

●If you check the "Enable Automatic Administration of LAN Addresses" field (available on the "Options" tab of the "Tserver Properties" dialog box in the TSA32), Telephony Services will save the IP address/host name of each client worktop when it opens its first connection to Telephony Services. In this case, no further changes to the conversion file are required.

●If you are using the "Extended Worktop Access" feature but do not want to enable the automatic LAN administration, you can either enter the IP address or host name for each worktop in the conversion file, or you can make these changes using the TSA32 applications after you have loaded the conversion file into your SDB.

c.Enable system-level features:

Use the "Tserver Options" dialog box (available through "Admin" menu of the TSA32) to set the following parameters:

●Extended Worktop Access — When this feature is enabled, the Telephony Server checks the Security Database for a worktop with the same LAN address as the workstation where the user is working. If a match is found, then the user is given call control and device/device monitoring permissions for any of the devices associated with that worktop.

Note:

In NetWare Telephony Services, this feature is known as "Restrict User Access to Home Worktop." Enabling the "Extended Worktop Access" feature in Telephony Services running in Windows is equivalent to disabling the "Restrict User Access to Home Worktop" feature in NetWare Telephony Services.

●Enable Automatic Administration of LAN Addresses — If the LAN address is not already assigned for the user’s worktop and you enable this feature, the Tserver automatically fills in the LAN address information the next time the user logs on.
