1 Introduction 1.1 System Manager (software) What is it and what does it do? The following functional block diagram represents a typical implementation of a Voice Connect autoattendant and voicemail system. Telephony Interface Card Voice Connector II Server Sound Files System Manager SQL Database The Telephony Interface Card connects the autoattendant and voicemail system to the telephone system. The SQL Database contains system parameters and other data including the names and locations of sound files (autoattendant greetings and voicemail recordings). The Voice Connector II Server communicates with the Telephony Interface Card and the SQL Database, and reads and writes sound files. It is the core software application that controls the autoattendant and voicemail system. The System Manager communicates with the SQL Database. It edits all the system parameters, which the Voice Connector II Server uses to control the autoattendant and voicemail system. NOTES In a small, simple implementation all of the components are in the Voice Connector II PC. The Telephony Interface Card and the Voice Connector II Server MUST be together in the Voice Connector II PC. The System Manager and the Database can each be in separate PCs.

1.2 System Administrator (person) As stated in the previous sub-section, the System Manager software application edits system parameters. We used to call it the Editor, but decided to change its name to System Manager, because, by editing system parameters, it manages the autoattendant and voicemail system. Unfortunately, the name System Manager is frequently used to refer to a person who manages (or administers) a system. To avoid confusion, this document and the System Manager User Reference Guide refer to the person who uses the System Manager software application, to (manage or) administer the autoattendant and voicemail system, as the System Administrator. 1.3 Voice Connector II Server (software) The Voice Connector II (VCII) Server is the core software application that provides the autoattendant and voicemail functions. 1.4 Remote Installation The System Manager can be on a different computer to the VCII Server, as stated in the notes at the end of Section 1.1 (Page 4). This documents describes how to install the System Manager on any computer that is linked to the VCII Server through a network. 1.5 Dongle Before you install the System Manager you must attach the dongle to the computer. This may attach to the parallel printer port (if your computer has one) or a USB port. Parallel USB Issue 1.01 24 July 2008 Page 5 of 16
