How to set up CISCO Business Edition 3000 Server
Cisco Business Edition 3000
is installed for you on a standalone Cisco MCS 7890-C1. When you plug in the server,
the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software is installed and ready for use. Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, an internal component of the Cisco Business
Edition 3000 software that provides call processing for your system, resides on
the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. Cisco Unity Connection, an internal component
of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software that provides voicemail support for
your system, also resides on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. The Cisco
Business Edition 3000 server also contains the database where your
configuration records are stored. Internal services that are part of the Cisco
Business Edition 3000 software allow you to troubleshoot, monitor, and perform
maintenance tasks, such as backups and upgrades.
Tip The Cisco Business Edition 3000 server must use a static IP address.
Because you use web-browsable graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, you need not connect a keyboard and mouse to the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. The following graphical user interfaces (GUIs) exist on the server so that you can perform tasks to support your system:
Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard guides you through the deployment steps that are necessary to complete an initial configuration. From this wizard, an administrator can select the automatic option that requires data to be uploaded through a Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file. Also, an administrator can manually configure settings by moving throughout the wizard. The Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard supports forward and back capability through Back and Next buttons that display on every page of the wizard.
Tip If you click Next throughout the wizard without updating any of the settings, your system uses the default settings.
Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface
After you complete the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, the next time that you log in to the server, you can access the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. The Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface allows you to perform the tasks that are described in this chapter. For example, in this GUI, you can monitor and troubleshoot the system, add, edit, delete configuration data, such as phones, users, sites, and so on, and perform maintenance tasks, such as backups, restorations, upgrades, add and view licenses.
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface uses a three-section layout, which consists of a top-level header, navigation menus that display on the left of the page that expand and collapse to display individual menu options, and a content section that displays on the right of the page where you can view, add, update, and delete data.
When you click an arrow next to a navigation menu, the navigation section displays the items that belongs to the navigation menu. To display the contents of an item in the navigation menu, click the item. The contents of that item display on the right side of the GUI.
Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface
When users that exist in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface log in to the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface, a web page displays where the user can manage user preferences for phone features; for example, the user can update Reach Me Anywhere, call forwarding, speed dials, the phone PIN for Cisco Extension Mobility, and the password for the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface. In addition, the user can use Cisco Web Dialer to place a call to an extension in the corporate directory.
Users can manage their user preferences settings for phone features by selecting check boxes and entering the appropriate information in the provided fields. Each user accesses his own Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface page, and this page is not shared by users.
Most settings that display in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface are dynamic; the settings display only if the user is allowed to use the feature (as configured by you, the system administrator). For example, if you do not enable Reach Me Anywhere in the usage profile that is assigned to the user, the user cannot see the Reach Me Anywhere setting in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface.
