UX2000 Web Based Management

Today IT organizations need a cost effective way of managing branch officeappliances. The UX2000 web based management tool allows IT administra-tors to centrally manage the Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA) from theirheadquarter location. The UX2000 Web User Interface (Web UI) increasesadministrator’s effectiveness so they can quickly deploy UX nodes in remotebranch offices as well as respond to events and issues as they arise.

The UX2000 Web User Interface offers a full set of features including thoselisted below:

• Allows remote administrator to manage, configure, and monitor nodes

• Simplifies logging into the UX node using Active Directory credentials

• Administrators can perform “Task based” system configuration

This whitepaper describes the UX capabilities of configuration, monitoring,and managing the node through Web UI.

• Configuration: Using the Web UI, administrators can implement dial plans,configure IP interfaces, select routing protocols, create calling routes, andperform digit manipulation

• Monitoring: The UX2000 provides real-time call state information for allcalls on all interfaces – TDM and VoIP calls. The UX supports a push modelin which the call states changes are automatically sent to the web userinterface. Using the real time monitoring, administrators can monitor callsand view trunk utilization in real time

• Management: Administrators can manage configuration changes remotely.The administrator can also reboot system, start and stop services running inthe integrated Applications Solutions Module (ASM)

Task Based User Interface

Every task requires performing several steps to complete which leads toerrors. Administrators may not know the sequence of steps needed tocomplete the task, or inadvertently skip a step. The UX implements a taskbased user interaction to assist the administrator to complete the taskeffortlessly and with least amount of training required.

The UX Web User Interface has a wizard-like interface to complete the mostcommonly used tasks by the administrator. The task helps the administratornavigate through the different steps required to complete the task. It alsosupports forward and backward navigation among the steps.

Because the individual steps are distinct tabs, the administrator has theflexibility to pick the tab to work on next rather than have to follow the rigidsequence of steps.

Real-Time Monitoring

3

UX2000 provides detailed real time monitoring of all call, channel, and alarmactivity on the node enabling the administrator to provide timely correctiveaction as required. With the help of a Web User Interface, administrators caneasily monitor network performance and view call data from remote location.

Using the UX web user interface, administrators can view all the channels ina node, trace calls, monitor source to destination call performance, and tracknetwork alarms on the port and channel. It is easy to monitor call propertiesby simply clicking on any active call at any time to view both the called andcalling party information.

The statistics dashboard shown below helps monitor the calls that areprocessed by the UX node.

Since the UX relies on push method to show events, the alarms and eventsare shown in real time.

The event logs enable an administrator to view information about any eventthat occurs on the system. Some of these events can include configurationchanges, warnings, alerts, component failures, etc.

Features and Benefits of Remote Monitoring

• Provides complete visibility of all transactions/call activity metrics in realtime or near real time

• Shows event based alarms

Remote Software Deployment

UX2000 remote software deployment allows for one-click software distribu-tion to remote sites from a central location. The main goal of the remoteinstallation is to reduce effort required for install, uninstall, and update.

Features and Benefits

• Remote sites can be upgraded with the latest firmware without physicallyvisiting each remote location

S Y S T E M O V E R V I E W & I N V E N T O R Y

With the web user interface, an Administrator can view UX node componentdetails such as Line cards, DSP modules, Application Solutions Module, Mainboard, Power supply, etc. An Administrator can conduct data gatheringwithout having to visit the remote sites.
