Web Station Scheduling.
The OTM Web Scheduler was first introduced in OTM
1.1 as a capability to run the station synchronisation
tasks instantaneously. This enhancement now
introduces the capability to schedule a
synchronisation task for a future time and date.
Courtesy Change in Station Administration.
This feature offers an option to checks if a telephone
is busy/idle before transmitting changes to the
switch. In the case where a phone is busy, changes
are not transmitted thus avoiding a disconnection
of an active call.
Backup/Restore Improvements.
This feature supports information in the OTM
database (Web Station data, Web Navigator data
such as user groups, client list) that were not
previously included in the full OTM backup/
disaster recovery operations.
Updated OTM Sample Data.
Sample Data are updated on OTM 2.0 to include
components of CSE 1000 offer.
Billing Improvements.
The Billing application is enhanced to support
Network Wide Billing consolidation and billing
support for transferred calls.
IP Trunk 3.0 on Meridian-1.
Some changes are performed in the OTM 2.0 ITG
ISDN trunks application to allow IP trunks 3.0
installed on Meridian-1 to be registered on the
Signalling Server – H323 gatekeeper
Co-residency with Anti-virus software and
PC-Anywhere.
Co-residency with Norton and McAfee anti-virus
software as well as with PC anywhere is now tested
and supported with OTM 2.0 servers and clients.
The Optivity Telephony Manager Release 2.0 (OTM
2.0) provides concurrency up to (and including)
release 25.40 as well as CSE 1000 release 2.0.
OTM 2.0 includes the feature enhancements
described below:
Succession CSE 1000 Release 2.0 Concurrence.
The OTM 2.0 applications have been modified to
support the introduction of new components in the
CSE 1000 Rel 2.0 solution. It includes the support of
new set (i2002) as well as the support for Branch
office and virtual office.
Empowered Web Navigation.
The OTM navigators (Windows and Web based)
provide a display of Succession CSE 1000 elements in
a network view.
Succession CSE1000 network elements that can be
displayed include Gatekeepers, Call Servers and
Signaling Servers. The OTM navigators will allow
administrators to select specific elements by clicking
on the displayed element, which will cause their
browser to link to the CSE “on-board ”Web server and
proceed to management “direct to the element ”.
Also, since CSE is a distributed system, a new
network view (called Gatekeeper Zones) is created in
the OTM navigators. It provides a “logical ” view of
components that are linked to a given Gatekeeper as
opposed to a “geographical ” view of components in
given physical locations.
Improved Security and User Access Control.
Starting on OTM Release 2.0, administrators can
now create new user groups and define for all type
of accesses one or more authentication methods.
The authentication can be done through a local OTM
server account, a Windows NT domain account or
using an LPAP server.
