DEFINITY Site Administration release 1.5

DEFINITY ONE applications are pre-loaded on the hardware platform. The actual set up of customer translations are administered through DEFINITY Site Administration (DSA), which is integrated into the hardware platform. DSA is a general-purpose DEFINITY System Management tool that simplifies basic administration of the DEFINITY system. With this application, users can navigate, display, add, modify, and/or remove the DEFINITY system and related objects more easily than they could using an SAT terminal. The standard SAT interface is still available for use through terminal emulation.

DSA streamlines common system administration tasks by providing:

•Short cuts to administration commands

•The ability to schedule tasks to run at a later date

•The ability to print button labels

•The ability to easily create AUDIX subscribers with either a default mailbox or a custom mailbox

DSA provides a Windows 32-bit graphical user interface and runs on Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0 or later. Designed to support DEFINITY AUDIX and INTUITY AUDIX systems, DSA requires an active DEFINITY system or AUDIX connection for proper operation.

DSA provides the following functionality:

•Browser

The Browser provides navigation and access to features and services. The user creates hosts and related data objects and accesses DEFINITY and/or AUDIX hosts from the Browser. The Browser is based on a standard tree view and forms the central user interface component in DSA.

•Emulation

DSA’s emulation support includes AT&T 4410 and provides the most basic form of System Administration.
