5 Chapter 1 Overview Web-Based Management (WBM) is an Alcatel OmniPCX Office Internet service administration tool. WBM can be used by a local administrator called an operator. To use the WBM at operator level, you must log on using: either a user account belonging to a group that has operator rights. or the default "operator" account. 1-1 What are the operator's functions? An operator can only manage routine tasks. S/he cannot modify service configuration. The operator's main tasks are: 1. User management The operator's most important responsibility is user management. Concerning the user groups, the operator only has access to a read-only summary of the existing groups' settings. Creation of user groups remains the administrator's privilege. 2. Supervision of system information and statistics Advanced statistics on system activity can be obtained over a period of time or at a given time, and on application aspects, thanks to the statistics tool integrated in Alcatel OmniPCX Office. These data can be accessed through the WBM interface. These statistics are shown in tables with the possibility of accessing graphics allowing the user to view the evolution over time. Two types of information are accessible via WBM: - Snapshot information These are measurements of the system's activity, recorded in real time. - Statistics System information, management of the memory and swap, as well as the processor load, hard disk utilisation (partition), network traffic. Information stored on the Alcatel OmniPCX Office's hard disk (system activity statistics and applications statistics). It is stored in the log files. Three types of statistical analysis are available: 3EH21053BSAA - Ed April Web Based Management 1-1

6 Chapter 1 Overview Statistics on HTTP resources access: Proxy server (HTTP or FTP protocol) and Intranet Web server. Statistics on service. Statistics on the various connection types: Internet connections (DSL or ISDN modem), VPN and RAS connections. Snapshot information and statistics can be consulted in the form of either graphics or tables. 3. Configuration of time ranges and mailing lists, as well as backup management. - Configuration of the time ranges Here, a time range for Internet access is determined for each day of the week, either for the system itself, or for individual groups of users. - Mailing list configuration A mailing list contains one or more user's login and/or one or more addresses. If an is sent to this mailing list, the message will be broadcast to every member belonging to this list. - Backup Management To avoid losing data after a hard drive crash, Alcatel OmniPCX Office is equipped with a backup mechanism for all existing files. This mechanism also creates backup files for the configuration of telephony and Internet services. The backup is done on network equipment. In the event of a hard disk replacement, all data are restored on the new hard disk from the last backup operation. The backup can be manual or automatic. If it is automatic, the operator programs how often and at what time the backup is carried out. Data restoration is manual Summary of the operator's tasks TASKS The following table lists all the Alcatel OmniPCX Office Internet services that can be configured by an operator using WBM.
