System administration and the ELAN
In addition to its primary purpose of carrying call control information, the ELAN
facilitates network-based management by allowing for local onsite administration of
CallPilot servers and Meridian switches using ELAN-based administration client
PCs. CallPilot administration PCs are typically located on the CLAN, if a CLAN is
available.

Installing the server and connecting the peripherals
CAUTION
Risk of reduced system performance
Since the ELAN carries critical real-time traffic between the
CallPilot server and Meridian switch, bandwidth-intensive OA&M
activities on the ELAN are prohibited while CallPilot call
processing is in progress. These activities include remote control,
large file transfers, backup and restore operations, printing, and
other traffic-intensive tasks. Failure to adhere to this guideline
adversely affects the call processing abilities of ELAN-based
Meridian switches and CallPilot servers.
