Element Manager
NN43041-465 Standard 01.04
Each Signaling Server hosts a web server that enables access to a user-
friendly graphical user interface. This management framework, which is
called Element Manager, can be accessed directly through a web browser or
the Telephony Manager 3.1 navigator. The Telephony Manager 3.1 navigator
includes integrated links to each system's Element Manager in a network.
Element Manager increases the speed and efficiency of system management
by organizing parameters in logical groups, where single web pages provide
access to information that was traditionally spread across multiple overlays.
The ability of Element Manager to "hide or show information" helps the user
focus on specific information, avoiding the distraction of multiple
parameters.
Element Manager reduces configuration errors by providing a full text
description of each parameter and acronym. It also reduces errors by
simplifying parameter value selection through the use of pre-selected default
values and drop-down lists.
Note: The CS 1000E system and MG 1000T platform are managed
separately from their own Signaling Servers, which in turn run Element
Manager web servers.
The following management tasks can be performed using Element Manager:
• System Status
Enables users to perform maintenance actions on Call Server
components (D-channel, MSDL, TMDI, Digital Trunk, Clock
Controller, Network and Peripheral, Trunk diagnostic) and
IP Telephony.
• Configuration
Enables users to configure customer data, trunks and routes (traditionally
done in LD 14, 15, and 16), D-channel and Common Equipment data
(LD 17), digital trunk interface (LD 73), Flexible Code Restriction and
Incoming Digit conversion (LD 49), and the IP telephony node.
