Last Updated : Aug 15, 2016 |

System Manager provides a common, central administration of some IP Telephony products. With the central administration feature, you can consolidate the key capabilities of Integrated Management administration products with other Avaya Management tools on a common software platform. With System Manager, you can administer Avaya Aura® Communication Manager, Communication Manager Messaging, Avaya Aura® Messaging, and Modular Messaging. The following sections provide some features of System Manager.

Managing Communication Manager objects

System Manager displays a collection of Communication Manager objects under Communication Manager. With System Manager, you can add, edit, view, or delete objects through Communication Manager.

Endpoint management

Using endpoint management you can create and manage endpoint objects and add, change, remove, and view endpoint data.

Template management

Using Templates, you can specify specific parameters of an endpoint or a subscriber once and reuse the template for subsequent tasks of adding endpoints or subscribers. You can use default templates or add your own custom templates.

The two categories of templates are: default templates and user-defined templates. You cannot edit or delete the default templates. However, you can modify or remove user-defined templates at any time.

Subscriber management

Using Subscriber Management, you can manage, add, change, remove, and view subscriber data. Subscriber management supports Avaya Aura® Messaging, Communication Manager Messaging, and Modular Messaging objects.

Discovery Management

You can discover specific devices within the network using the Discovery Management capability of System Manager. You can also manage the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access parameters used for the discovery process. Device discovery discovers your network, including subnets and nodes.

Element Cut Through

Using the Element Cut-Through link, you can gain access to the Communication Manager cut through the Element Cut-Through page. As an administrator, you have permission to gain access to the Communication Manager cut through.
