SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION
Description
The software that controls System 25 operation consists of tables located in system memory.
These tables contain data associated with:
Trunk, Station, and Auxiliary Equipment Ports
System Parameters
Direct Group Calling Groups
Toll Calls Allowed Lists
Peripheral Equipment Data Communications Parameters
Automatic Route Selection.
Collectively, these software tables are referred to as translations. The system comes
equipped with default translations data;
when
full-default cold started, the default
translations are copied into translation memory.
System Administration is the process of managing the translations by making changes to
modify system operation to meet customer requirements.
The
System 25 Implementation Manual describes how a system can be configured to meet
specific customer needs.
Information about a desired configuration is recorded on a set of
forms that are used when entering the initial system translations (i.e., initializing the
system). These forms are filed in the Administration Records Binder and provide the basis
for on-going record keeping.
Modification of initial assignments can be made to meet changing customer needs.
The system provides an EIA RS-232 interface to a System Administration Terminal (SAT),
the primary means of entering and modifying translations.
System 25 administration consists of:
Centralized Administration: Configuration of the system and assignment of
feature-related parameters,
including assignment of feature buttons on voice
terminals. Centralized Administration is performed via the SAT.
Advanced Administration:
The Advanced Administration Software (AAS)
package is a major improvement in system management. It provides the System
Administrator a user-friendly, powerful tool for accurately and quickly making
changes in voice/data terminal assignments, call coverage, access codes, and other
system functions such as ARS.
The software operates on a PC6300 (with 512K ram) and provides an alternative to
use of the SAT input terminal.
A main menu gives the user ready access for these tasks:
Adding/changing/removing voice station assignments
Adding/removing users to and from coverage groups
Saving translations.
