The Communication Manager name can be up to 256 characters.

For the Communication Manager instance, you can specify the host name or the IP address.

The IP address can be in the IPv4 or IPv6 format.

For duplex Communication Manager, this value references the active server host name or the IP address.

The alternate IP address of the element. For duplex Communication Manager, the alternate IP address is the host name or the IP address of the standby server.

The login name that you use to connect to the Communication Manager instance.

The authentication type for the SSH or Telnet login name on the element.

The password that authenticates the SSH or Telnet login name on the element.

The password that you retype for confirmation.

An option to use SSH for connecting to the element.

By default, this check box is selected and the system uses SSH to connect to the element.

If you clear the check box, the system uses Telnet to connect to the element.

The RSA SSH key of the Communication Manager server.

For duplex servers, the RSA SSH key is the key of the active server.

You must include the prefix SHA256: before the RSA SSH Fingerprint. For example:

SHA256:<Eb4qM3YEWONzZoLlhgle1s2Ena0A8qhy1z1oWk7Nahs>

The RSA SSH key of the standby Communication Manager server. Use the RSA SSH key only for duplex servers.

You must include the prefix SHA256: before the RSA SSH Fingerprint. For example:

SHA256:<Ena0A8qhy1z1oWk7NahsYEWONzEb4qM3ZoLlhgle1s2>

A description of the Communication Manager server.

A real-time notification whenever an administrative change occurs in Communication Manager. For example, when you add or delete an extension from Communication Manager outside System Manager. The options are:

• Selected: Enables the CM Notify sync feature for this Communication Manager instance.

• Cleared: Disables the CM Notify sync feature for this Communication Manager instance.
