Monitoring and administration tools

When the SSL VPN service is connected, you can manage and monitor the IP Office system remotely through the tunnel.
You can use the following tools to manage, upgrade, and configure the IP system remotely:
  • IP Office Manager: An administrative application that allows you to configure system settings for IP Office Essential Edition systems.
    • IP Office Manager for Server Edition: When you launch IP Office Manager, you can choose to open a configuration using IP Office Manager for Server Edition mode. This mode allows you to administer Server Edition servers and expansion systems.
  • IP Office Basic EditionWeb Manager: a browser-based tool that allows you to configure system settings for IP Office.
You can use the following tools to monitor the IP Office system remotely:
  • System Status Application (SSA): The System Status Application is a diagnostic tool that you can use to monitor the status of IP Office systems. SSA reports real-time and historical events as well as status and configuration data.
  • SysMonitor: The SysMonitor application displays operating information about the IP Office system. It can capture the information to log files for analysis.
