Element Manager is a simple and user-friendly web-based interface that
supports a broad range of system management tasks, including:
• configuration and maintenance of IP Peer and IP telephony features
• configuration and maintenance of traditional routes and trunks
• configuration and maintenance of numbering plans
• configuration of Call Server data blocks (such as configuration data,
customer data, Common Equipment data, D-channels)
• maintenance commands, system status inquiries, backup and restore
functions
• software download, patch download, patch activation
Element Manager has many features to help administrators manage systems
with greater efficiency. Examples are as follows:
• Web pages provide a single point-of-access to parameters that were
traditionally available through multiple overlays.
• Parameters are presented in logical groups to increase ease-of-use and
speed-of-access.
• The "hide or show information" option enables administrators to see
information that relates directly to the task at hand.
• Full-text descriptions of parameters and acronyms help administrators
reduce configuration errors.
• Configuration screens offer pre-selected defaults, drop-down lists,
checkboxes, and range values to simplify response selection.
The Element Manager web server resides on the Signaling Server and can be
accessed directly through a web browser or Optivity Telephony Manager
(OTM). The OTM navigator includes integrated links to each network system
and their respective instances of Element Manager.
