Unite Connectivity Manager (Unite CM)

Unite CM is a web-based tool used for device management, messaging and alarm handling.
It is also used for the administration of users and groups, for supervision, activity logging,
and fault logging. It is a Unite module based on the ELISE3 hardware. It can be used
independently but also work in combination with other Unite modules or System 900
modules.
Unite CM includes all the functions in IMS3, as well as the functions in other ELISE3
applications such as ESS functions for user and group administration, escalations, remote
management connectivity, surveillance, supervision, activity logging, and fault logging.
For a detailed description of the Unite CM, see Installation and Operation Manual,

Portable Device Manager (PDM)

The PDM is a management tool for the VoWiFi Handsets. It makes it possible to edit
parameters and update software in a VoWiFi Handset on-site. It contains a parameter
database, holding system parameters as well as parameters specific for the VoWiFi
Handsets.
The PDM is a software application that runs on a local Windows PC and communicates with
the VoWiFi Handsets by means of a USB connection. One VoWiFi Handset at a time has to be
physically connected to the PC via a VoWiFi Handset cradle with a USB cable (a Desktop
Programmer, DP1). The PDM has a Java-based Graphical User Interface.
The PDM is always used for the initial site-specific configuration of the VoWiFi Handsets. It
can then for future settings be replaced by an IMS3/Unite CM for individual settings and for
management of the VoWiFi Handsets.
For a detailed description of PDM, see also Installation and Operation Manual, Portable
Device Manager (PDM), TD 92325EN.

VoIP Gateway/Gatekeeper

The VoIP gateway serves as a link between traditional telephony, connected via an ISDN PRI
interface, and IP telephony.
The VoIP gateway also acts as a gatekeeper enabling call control and call routing. The
gatekeeper provides network authorization and address translation from an alias (H.323
name or E.164 number) to an IP address.
