System 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 I AUDIX systems, DSA requires an active Avaya IP600 or AUDIX
NTUITY
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.
