Device Management is the general term of managing devices. Centralized Management implies
that devices are managed from a central application. The Centralized Management concept
gives several advantages when administrating devices.
Centralized Management makes it possible to handle parameters and software for devices
on-site on a central workstation or remotely.
The Device Manager can manage large sets of devices and contains a solution for:
Centralized software upgrade on a set of devices
●
Centralized configuration of devices
●
Central database storage for all device settings
●
No need to collect all devices when upgrading software or changing settings
●
This section gives a description of the Device Manager in AIWS and how it is intended to be
used.
In the Device Manager much of the work is done with Devices, Numbers and Templates. A
Device can be a telephone, a charger etc. A Number consists of the parameters belonging to a
certain device. A Template can be used to set parameters that are common for several devices
of a certain device type. The template can later be applied to a certain Number.
Ensure that the Device Manager is configured to communicate with the interface (for example
IP-DECT) the devices are connected to. If not, the devices will not appear in the Device
Manager. See
