26Description and features

Element Manager has many features to help administrators manage systems with greater efficiency. Examples are as follows:

Web pages provide a single point-of-access to parameters that were traditionally available through multiple overlays.

Parameters are presented in logical groups to increase ease-of-use and speed-of-access.

The "hide or show information" option enables administrators to see information that relates directly to the task at hand.

Full-text descriptions of parameters and acronyms help administrators reduce configuration errors.

Configuration screens offer pre-selected defaults, drop-down lists, checkboxes, and range values to simplify response selection.

The Element Manager web server resides on the Signaling Server and can be accessed directly through a web browser or Optivity Telephony Manager (OTM). The OTM navigator includes integrated links to each network system and their respective instances of Element Manager.

Installation and configuration

Small Systems support CS 1000 Release 4.5 feature functionality.

A wide choice of software is available. The software contains all of the components related to a release of software, including software patches, preconfigured customer database, feature sets, and other related databases and software.

Small Systems can be configured with software applications, such as Automatic Call Distribution (ACD), Messaging, Automatic Route Selection, Automatic Set Relocation, and Attendant Administration.

The Messaging application comes equipped with features such as Voice Menus, Automated Attendant, Message Networking, and Nortel Hospitality Integrated Voice Services.

Customers can configure the system as:

a key system or a PBX

a non-blocking system (because it does not need to be provisioned for speech paths or timeslots)

New systems are supplied with a Software Daughterboard that is preconfigured with system and customer data. The system uses a Software Delivery card (PC Card) to upgrade system software and provide storage for a backup copy of customer data.
