Launching the Avaya Integrated Management Console
from EPICenter
As long as the Avaya Integrated Management server is installed directly on the same system as the
EPICenter server (and not as a plug-in to HP OpenView) you can launch the Avaya Integrated
Management Console from the EPICenter Tools menu (available from any feature within EPICenter.
This runs the Avaya Integrated Management Console in a separate window, either as an application (if
your EPICenter client and the Avaya Integrated Management server are on the same system) or in a
browser window (if your EPICenter client is running on a separate system).
You are asked for a user name and password to log into the Avaya Integrated Management Console.
For information about using the Avaya Integrated Management Console to manage Avaya devices see
the Avaya documentation.

Monitoring IP Phones on Extreme Networks Devices

If the EPICenter and Avaya Integrated Management servers are co-resident, you can import information
from Avaya Integrated Management about the IP phones connected to devices in the network. For IP
phones connected to Extreme Networks devices you can monitor their locations (ports) through the
Device, Slot, or Port Properties displays for those devices. You can also view an IP Phones report using
the Reports feature that shows you the identities, locations and status information for all the IP phones
known to EPICenter.
If Avaya Integrated Management is not co-resident, these IP phones features are not available in
EPICenter, even if IP phones are connected to Extreme Networks devices. Information about IP phone
identity is kept by the Avaya Integrated Management server, and must be imported into EPICenter from
the Avaya Integrated Management inventory.

Importing IP Phones

IP phone information is detected and stored in the Avaya Integrated Management server. This
information is not available to EPICenter until you import it using the Import IP Phones command
from the EPICenter Tools menu.
• To import IP Phones, click Import IP Phones under the Avaya sub-menu on the Tools menu at the
top of the window.
The import function retrieves IP phone information from the Avaya Integrated Management server and
stores it in the EPICenter database.
EPICenter Concepts and Solutions Guide
Detects and imports MAC and IP address information about IP phones attached to
the ports of the Extreme Networks devices known to EPICenter. See "Importing IP
Phones" on page 139 for details.
Uses MAC poller data to update information about IP phones connected to Extreme
Networks devices. See "Syncing IP Phones" on page 141 for more information.
