On the System page, view and manage the server settings for the server.
Field / Control | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Network | |||||
Network Interface | Allows selection of network interfaces is currently being configured by the web form. Within the IP Office configuration, Eth0 matches LAN1, Eth1 matches LAN2. | ||||
Host Name |
Sets the host name that the system should use. This setting requires
the local network to support a DNS server. Do not use localhost.
|
||||
Use DHCP | If selected, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway information is obtained by the server making DHCP requests. The related fields are greyed out and cannot be set manually, instead they show the values obtained in response to the DHCP request. | ||||
IP Address | Displays the IP address set for the server. If DHCP is not being used, the field can be edited to change the setting. | ||||
Subnet Mask | Displays the subnet mask applied to the IP address. If DHCP is not being used, the field can be edited to change the setting. | ||||
Default Gateway | Displays the default gateway settings for routing. If DHCP is not being used, the field can be edited to change the setting. | ||||
System DNS | Enter the address of the primary DNS server. This option is greyed out if the address of the DNS server is set to be obtained from the DHCP server. | ||||
Automatically obtain DNS from provider | This setting is only used if Use DHCP is also selected. If selected, the server attempts to obtain DNS server details from the DHCP server. | ||||
Avaya Office LAN Settings | |||||
Avaya Office LAN1 | These settings are used for the LAN1 interface of the server. LAN1 is also referred to as LAN. | ||||
Enable traffic control | Select whether the web control menus should be used to adjust the IP Office LAN settings. | ||||
Network Interface | Use the drop-down to select which port on the server should be used for LAN1. | ||||
Avaya Office LAN2 | These settings are used for the LAN2 interface of the server. LAN2 is also referred to as WAN. | ||||
Date and Time
These settings are used to set or obtain a UTC date and time value for use by the system and services. |
|||||
Date |
Shows the current date being used by the server. If Enable Network
Time Protocol is selected, this is the date obtained from the NTP
server and cannot be manually changed.
For virtual servers this field is not used. If not using NTP, the virtual server takes its date from the virtual server host platform. |
||||
Time |
Shows the current UTC time being used by the server. If Enable
Network Time Protocol is selected, this is the time obtained from
the NTP server and cannot be manually changed. The current time being
used by the server is shown on the Home menu.
For virtual servers this field is not used. If not using NTP, the virtual server takes its time from the virtual server host platform. |
||||
Timezone |
In some instances the time displayed or used by a function needs
to be the local time rather than UTC time. The Timezone field is used
to determine the appropriate offset that should be applied to the
UTC time above. Note that changing the timezone can cause a Session
expired message to appear in the browser.
|
||||
Enable Network Time Protocol | If this option is selected, the system will attempt to obtain the current UTC time from the NTP servers listed in the NTP Servers list below. It will then use that time and make regular NTP requests to update the date and time. The following options are only used if Enable Network Time Protocol is selected. | ||||
NTP Servers |
This field is used to enter the IP address of an NTP server or
servers which should be used when Enable Network Time Protocol is
selected. Enter each address as a separate line. The network administrator
or ISP may have an NTP server for this purpose. A list of publicly
accessible NTP servers is available at http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome,
however it is your responsibility to make sure you are aware of the
usage policy for any servers you choose. Choosing several unrelated
NTP servers is recommended in case one of the servers you are using
becomes unreachable or its clock is unreliable. The operating system
uses the responses it receives from the servers to determine which
are reliable.
The IP Office system can also use NTP to obtain its system time. |
||||
Authentication
Enable referred authentication |
|||||
HTTP Server
Enable HTTP file store for backup/restore |
|||||
Change Root Password | |||||
New Password | Enter the new password for the server's root account. Enter again to confirm. | ||||
Change Local Linux Account Password | |||||
Account Name | The user name for the local Linux account. | ||||
New Password | Enter the new password for the server's root account. Enter again to confirm. | ||||
System Identification
These settings are shown are for information only. |
|||||
System ID (SID) | This is the unique system reference that is used to validate licenses issued for this particular system. For a physical server this is a unique value based on the server hardware. For a virtual server this value is based on several factors including the LAN1 and LAN2 IP addresses, the host name and the timezone. If any of those are changed, the System ID changes and any existing licenses become invalid. | ||||
Licensing Mode | Indicates the licensing method being used by the system. Internal indicates that the system uses the unique system ID. Currently Internal is the only supported option. | ||||
