USING THE
CENTRAL CONFIGURATION MANAGER
You should use the Local Configuration Manager to initialize each of the NJ220
IntelliJacks installed on your network. Once you have completed that step, you can
manage all of them with the Central Configuration Manager.
Install this program on any computer on your network you want to use as a
central management console (See chapter 2, “Installing the Configuration
Managers” for help). You can use the same machine that has your SNMP-based
management platform. The Central Configuration Manager will be able to
configure and manage all of the IntelliJacks that reside on your network.
We recommend that you keep the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) running
on your machine. Information such as traps and alerts are sent tot he CCM on a
periodic basis. If you shut off the machine or close the configuration manager, you
will not be able to receive this information.
