Managing Cabinets; Any Cabinet - Avaya CS7000 Administrator's Manual

Managing Cabinets

Operators might want to book conferences on several different cabinets. In addition, Operators
might want to book conferences on an Avaya CS7000 or an Avaya CS700 or an Avaya CS780
Conferencing Server. Currently, Operators can book conferences on several difference
cabinets, as long as they are of the same server type. Eventually, Operators will use a single
scheduling application for all conferencing server types. This scheduling application will be the
CRS front end. At the moment, the system centrally processes CDRs and CoDRs from all
cabinets of the same server type in the CDR database. The system forwards the data to a
single billing application. The Notifications Subsystem sends conference notifications relating to
all cabinets. As the CRS System Administrator, you must locate the cabinets on the same LAN,
WAN, or VPN and within the same timezone. The CRS communicates with the multiple bridges
using TCP/IP.
Note:
At present, Operators can book conferences through multiple Avaya CS700 and
Note:
CS780 Conferencing Servers, or multiple Avaya CS7000 Conferencing Servers.
In future releases, a single CRS will support multiple bridge types, for example,
Avaya CS7000 and Avaya CS780.
You can add, edit, and delete cabinets through the CRS front end. This section describes how
to manage cabinets in the system. It also describes the Any cabinet configuration option. It
contains the following sections:

Any Cabinet

●
Adding a Cabinet
●
Editing a Cabinet
●
Deleting a Cabinet
●
Any Cabinet
When Operators book a conference, they can select a particular cabinet for their reservation.
Alternatively, Operators can select the Any (cabinet) option. When Operators select the Any
option, the CRS checks which cabinets have available resources. The system selects the first
available cabinet. Operators must specify the conference type. The system only considers
cabinets with matching conference types. Operators do not specify a DDI when they select the
Any option. For more information on the Any option, see the Avaya CS7000 Operator Guide for
Version 9.4.
Note:
The system does not support Best fit functionality when Operators select the Any
Note:
option.
