10 System Administration

Avaya IP600 offers a variety of modular tools for managing your system.

Telephone and facility administration features allow you to administer telephones, computers, facilities, and features throughout your system or network. Traffic management features allow you to measure, manage, and report on the voice and data communications traffic throughout your system or network. Maintenance features allow you to view the health of your system and perform maintenance procedures on your own system.

Avaya’s broad system management philosophy extends Avaya IP600’s power and flexibility into the tools for managing the system. These tools are based on the user-friendly architecture that is the hallmark of Avaya’s DEFINITY products.

DEFINITY Site Administration

Avaya IP600 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 system management tool that simplifies basic administration. With this application, users can easily navigate, display, add, modify, and/or remove the Avaya IP600 system and related objects. The standard SAT (system administration terminal) interface is still available for use through SAT emulation.

DSA streamlines common system administration tasks by providing:

•Shortcuts 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 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 or later. Designed to support DEFINITY AUDIX and INTUITY AUDIX systems, DSA requires an active Avaya IP600 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 the Avaya IP600 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.
