Administrator
The Administrator console enables you to configure
and monitor your Strata CS system. Use the
Administrator to manage trunks, extensions
and users, create and modify auto attendant
menus, and perform other administrative tasks.
You can install the Administrator on a Windows
2000, 98, ME, or Windows NT network PC, including
the server PC.
Device Monitor
The Device Monitor lets you see the current
activity and status of each trunk and station
on the server. From the Device Monitor,
you can also start and stop the server.
The Device Monitor is
installed automatically when you install
the Administrator on the server computer.
The information is also available in the
Device Monitor view of the Administrator.
Remote Maintenance
The Strata CS comes with two optional remote
maintenance software; Symantec pcANYWHERE32
and CoSession. Remote maintenace is a valuable
tool to troubleshoot andsupport remote
Strata CS Servers when maintenance requirements
exceed the capabilities of theStrata CS
Administrator.
Symantec pcANYWHERE32 is shipped standard
with all Strata CS Servers. The software
is packaged together with the Strata CS materials
and requires no additional charges for licensing
and usage.
CoSession Remote can be installed from the
Strata CS CD-ROM autorun. Some licensing
and usage fees may apply for CoSession users.
For instructions on setting up and using
CoSession, consult CoSession online Help.
These remote maintenance applications allow
you to edit the Windows registry, reboot
the server, run the Windows NT performance
monitor and view the Windows NT event log.
Note that the Strata CS Administrator program
can be run remotely with or without remote
maintenance applications. Both the host computer
and the target computer must have remote
maintenance software installed to establish
connections. Remote maintenance applications
do not need to be installed for phone service.
Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter
The Strata CS Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter
is a troubleshooting utility that lets
you configure a Robbed Bit T1 line to match
your carrier's specifications, and make
test calls until the line is operating
properly. For easier troubleshooting, use
the Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter before you
install the Strata CS Server, so you can
test calls without involving the whole
Strata CS system. You can also run the
Robbed Bit T1 Experimenter after the server
is installed without any negative effect.
