Administration; Unified System Administration - Toshiba IP EDGE Description

Overview

Administration

Administration
IPedge Enterprise Manager provides a web interface for users to configure data, manage, control
and maintain all components of these applications, and to coordinate the configuration of all
IPedge Solutions in an Enterprise System. The system can be administered remotely over the
Internet. No administration application is required on the user's PC.
In a networked multi-site system, all nodes are administered through a single location which
provides centralized administration and database backup for the entire system.

Unified System Administration

IPedge Enterprise Manager is a web-browser based administration tool that unifies the
programming of both the IPedge Call Processing features and the Messaging Voice Processing
features.
• Enterprise Manager combines administration and management of the telephone system and
voice mail into combined menus, allowing technicians and system administrators to program
both together, and eliminate many duplicate steps.
• Several wizards support setup via integrated screens.
• User Profile is designed to record equipment, user privileges, and authenticate the users during
login. The User Profile allows organizing the equipment into domain groups of networked
systems and presenting them in a tree. The user can select from a pull-down list of equipment
they want to access for administration.
• Online Program Update makes updating to the latest version of software quick and easy.
Enterprise Manager can be accessed locally over the LAN or, with proper network security,
remotely over the Internet, and because it is used from the user's Web browser, no special software
is required to be loaded on the user's client PC. The Web browser must be Windows Internet
Explorer 7.0 or Firefox 5.0 and above. The Mozilla add-on 'IE TAB' is required to properly view
some Enterprise Manager pages in Firefox.
The Enterprise Manager application reduces the time required to manage multiple IPedge
equipment sites. It can manage a group of IPedge systems in a single session. The possible
situations when an administrator may need to configure multiple IPedge systems as a group
include:
• Multiple IPedge systems in an IPedge Net configuration.
• Setting up several IPedge systems, at different sites, through the dealership LAN at the same
time.
• Several sites, at different geographical locations, each with its own IPedge system, all managed
centrally over a WAN.
Toshiba's personal administration tool integrated in Enterprise Manager using a User login, puts
telephone personalization in the hands of individual users, allowing them to easily program speed
dial buttons, feature buttons, Do Not Disturb functions, and even the name on their LCD displays,
using their PC's Web browser. The benefits of this tool are as follows:
• No special software is required to be loaded on the user's client PC.
• Administrator support is reduced because individual station users can program their own
telephones themselves.
• Using Enterprise Manager, every person within the organization can customize their telephone
to incorporate the features they use the most.
• Enterprise Manager is also very useful to system administrators, who can administer changes
for groups of users.
