Installing the IP Office Admin Suite

Last Updated : Jan 04, 2023 |

IP Office Manager is a component in a set of applications called the IP Office Admin suite. These applications are used to configure and monitor an IP Office system.

In addition to installing IP Office Manager, the installers include options to install the following additional applications:

Application

Description

System Monitor

This is a tool for system installers and maintainers. Interpreting the information output by System Monitor requires detailed data and telecoms knowledge.

System Status Application

This is a Java application that can be used to monitor the status of the system such as extension, trunks and other resources. It displays current alarms and most recent historical alarms.

  • The System Status Application requires Java to also be installed on the PC. It is not installed by the admin suite installer. This can be the run-time edition (JRE) or developers kit (JDK). The application has been tested with Oracle and Azul Zulu versions of Java. The presence of Java can be tested using the command java -version.
Note:

This installation process installs the required version of Windows .NET if not already present. This may require some systems to restart and the installation process to then be restarted.
