The Carbon Copy feature gives you complete remote management. Any command that you can issue on a local console session can be issued with Carbon Copy. Files can also be transferred between the Manager PC and the CyberSWITCH.

The disadvantage of using Carbon Copy is that a separate telephone line must be connected to each CyberSWITCH being managed. Another disadvantage is that the Manager PC must be an AT compatible PC.

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

When using the Modem Remote Administration Console, the connection to the CyberSWITCH is done using standard modems. Modems and cables are NOT provided with the CyberSWITCH.

When an CyberSWITCH is delivered, Carbon Copy is configured for a Direct Remote Administration Console. To set your system up for a Modem Remote Administration Console, you must reconfigure Carbon Copy’s baud rate and modem type parameters. Instructions for changing these parameters are listed below.

CHANGING CARBON COPY CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

The Carbon Copy CCINSTAL program is available on the CyberSWITCH and on the Manager diskette. (The diskette is available as an option when you order your CyberSWITCH). You can use this program to change Carbon Copy parameters such as password, COM port, baud rate and modem type.

To change Carbon Copy parameters on the CyberSWITCH, terminate the CyberSWITCH by typing quit. Next, enter the following command at the MSDOS prompt to change the current directory to “ADMIN”:

C:\>cd \admin
