Configuration field display in Server Edition mode

Last Updated : May 22, 2024 |

When Manager is being used in Server Edition mode, the navigation pane works in the same way as normal. However, the different types of configuration records are ordered and grouped differently. This reflects the fact that some types of record are automatically shared across all systems in the network.

Solution settings

The first 8 types are records have special behaviors that are different from normal records stored in the configurations of individual systems in the network.

Description





Directory - External names and numbers. These records are used to match names to incoming calls and for making calls by name selection from the directory on phones or in applications. These directory records are stored in the configuration of the Primary Server. By default all other systems in the network automatically import a copy of the Primary Server system directory at regular intervals.





Hunt Groups - These records are groups of users to which calls can be directed for answering by any one of those users. Hunt group records are stored in the configuration of the Primary Server but those hunt groups are advertised for use by all systems in the network.





User - These records show settings for system users. Each user may or may not be associated with an extension. All the users configured on all systems are grouped here to allow easy configuration access. The individual user records are still stored in the configuration of the particular system on which the user was created and can also be accessed through that system's configuration settings. New users are created through the User settings of the system that hosts the user.

By default, the following types of records are shared and replicated by each system in the network and cannot be set at an individual system level. That operation can be changed using the consolidation settings.

Description





Short Codes - These are numbers which when dialed trigger specific features or are translated for external dialing. These short codes are common to all systems in the network.





Incoming Call Route - These set here are used to match incoming call details on external trunks to destinations. These incoming call routes are shared by all systems in the network.





Time Profile - Used to control when various functions are active. The time profiles set here are shared by all systems in the network.





Account Code - Used for call logging and to control the dialing of certain numbers. The account codes set here are shared by all systems in the network.





User Rights - Provide templates to control the settings applied to users associated with a particular set of user rights. These user rights are shared and replicated on all systems in the network.

Individual system settings

In addition to the settings above, a range of other types of record can be configured for each individual system in the network. Visibility and configuration of Short Code, Incoming Call Route, Time Profile, Account Code and User Rights records is dependent on the consolidation settings of Manager.

Description





System - A system icon is shown for each system in the network. That is, one for the Primary Server, one for the Secondary Server if installed and one for each Expansion System (L) and Expansion System (V2) systems. Each can be expanded to allow configuration of records that are particular to that system.





Line - Settings for trunks and trunk channels within the system.





Control Unit - Information summary of the system.





Extensions - Settings for extension ports.





User - Settings for each system user. They may or may not be associated with an extension.





Short Codes - These are numbers which when dialed trigger specific features or are translated for external dialing.





Service - Configuration settings such as user names and passwords needed for connections to data services such as the Internet.





RAS - Remote Access Service settings for connecting incoming data calls.





WAN Port - Port Configuration settings for the WAN ports provided on some units.





Firewall Profile - Use to control the types of data traffic that can cross into or out of the IP Office system.





IP Route - The IP Office system uses these IP routes to determine where to route IPv4 data traffic it receives.





IP Route (IPv6) - The IP Office system uses these IP routes to determine where to route IPv6 data traffic it receives.

  • Supported on Linux-based IP Office R12.1 systems only. To enable IPv6 support, select LAN1 > LAN Setting (IPv6) > IPv6 and/or LAN2 > LAN Setting (IPv6) > IPv6.





Licenses - License keys are used to enable system features and applications.





ARS - Automatic Route Selection is used the IP Office by to control outgoing external calls.





Authorization Code - Authorization codes are similar to account codes. However, unlike account codes which are usable by any user, each authorization code is only usable by a specific user or users associated with a specific set of user rights.
