Navigating the System Administration Tool

Navigation has been designed to be intuitive. The screen is divided into four sections:

• The top of the screen displays the system name and shows the Alarm Status with a time stamp. It also has Print, Export, Data Refresh, Help, and Logout buttons.

• Left side of the screen displays the Navigation Tree. The tree is used to navigate the programming forms and views. The contents of the tree vary depending on the following:

• Licenses purchased and options enabled. Some forms or views are associated with licensable features—for example, ACD, and networked voice mail—and will appear in the tree if the license is purchased. Other features, such as System Data Synchronization, must be enabled for their forms to appear.

• The platform variant, CX, MXe, etc. Only the forms and views applicable to the connected 3300 ICP are part of the tree. For example, the WAN Settings and Firewall forms applies to the CXi,CXi II, and MXe only.

• The System Administrator Policy that is assigned to the logged in user. The policy controls which forms or views the user can access.

• Right side top part of the screen gives the overall information

• Right side bottom part of the screen displays details of the record that is highlighted in the top part of the screen

• Note: For best viewing, set your monitor resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels and 96 DPI.
