DEFINITY Site Administration (DSA)
regularly, and view a history of DNA activity. DNA allows for cut-thru to switches and voice
mail systems, but it also offers the Graphically Enhanced DEFINITY Interface (GEDI) for
DEFINITY systems. GEDI lets you do virtually everything you can do with a System
Management Terminal (SMT), but using an easy-to-use graphical interface.
DNA also offers wizards that streamline and automate system management tasks,
including adding or removing users; changing a user’s name; adding hunt groups; adding,
replacing, or deleting authorization codes; importing data into and exporting data from a
switch; making global changes; printing button labels; viewing available extensions or
ports; and setting the time on the switch. Optional features that can be purchased
separately include Enhanced Number Portability, which streamlines station moves across
networked switches.
DEFINITY Site Administration (DSA)
DEFINITY Site Administration (DSA) is another software-only system management tool
for DEFINITY and voice mail systems. Designed for small to mid-sized customers, DSA
offers everything that DNA offers except support for multiple, simultaneous
administrators, and select wizards and DNA features.
Like DNA, DSA offers cut-thru, GEDI, task scheduling and editing, and history viewing.
DSA wizards include adding and removing users; changing a user’s name; adding
bridged appearances; browsing for dial ranges, stations, and unused ports; finding
unused extensions; importing data into and exporting data from a switch; making global
changes; printing button labels; creating and using templates; printing reports; and
setting the time on a switch. DSA also includes wizards for monitoring switch errors and
performance, including monitor alarms, monitor trunks, trunk analyzer, processor
occupancy, call traffic, system capacity, audits, and hardware manager.
Troubleshooting
Automatic Circuit Assurance
Assists in identifying possible trunk problems. The DEFINITY ECS maintains a record of
the performance of individual trunks and automatically calls a designated user when a
possible failure is detected. This feature provides better service through early detection of
faulty trunks and consequently reduces out-of-service time.
