Installing Manager

Manager is a component of the IP Office Admin suite of applications. This suite is supplied on the IP Office 3.2 Administrator Applications CD and the IP Office 3.2 DVD. In addition to Manager the suite includes:

• System Monitor
  This is a tool for system installers and maintainers. Interpreting the information output by System Monitor requires detailed data and telecoms knowledge. .

• Feature Key Server
  Only install this application in the PC will be hosting the IP Office systems USB or parallel port license key dongle.

• Voice Mail Lite
  A license free voicemail application that provides mailboxes for all users and hunt groups. This should not be installed if another voicemail system such as IP Office Embedded Voicemail or Voicemail Pro is installed.

• Call Status
  A simple tool for maintainers that displays current calls in progress.

The Manager application can run in English, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Italian and Latin Spanish. The online help is only provided in English, French and German.

• .NET
  IP Office Manager requires .NET2. This is installed as part of the IP Office Admin suite if not already present on the PC. If .NET1  is present it should not be removed as .NET1 is required by other IP Office applications such as Voicemail Pro and Conferencing Center.

Installing Manager
If applications in the IP Office Admin Suite other than Manager are required, we strongly recommend that you refer to the IP Office Installation Manual.

Note

• This installation process will install Windows .NET2 if not already present. The installation of .NET2 may require some systems to restart and the installation process to then be restarted.

1. If a pre-3.2 version of the IP Office Admin suite is installed it must be removed. This is done using the Add or Remove Programs option in the Windows Control Panel and selecting IP Office Admin Suite and then Remove.

2. Insert the CD. The installation process should auto start. If it does not auto start, open the CD contents and double-click setup.exe.

3. Select the language you want to use for the installation process. This does not affect the language used by Manager which will attempt to match the Windows regional setting. Click Next >.

4. • If the following appears it indicates that a previous installation of the IP Office Admin suite has been detected. Select Yes to upgrade the existing installed applications.
     

4. Select whether only the current Windows logon account should be able to run the Admin Suite applications or whether they will be available to all users of the PC. Click Next >.

5. • The previous selection does not affect the IP Office Feature key server application, if installed. That application runs as a service whenever the PC is running.

5. If required select the destination to which the applications should be installed. We recommend that you accept the default destination. Click Next >.

6. The next screen is used to select which applications in the suite should be installed. Clicking on each will display a description of the application. Click on the next to each application to change the installation selection. When you have selected the installations required, click Next >.
   

7. The applications selected are now ready to be installed. Click Install.

8. Following installation, you will be prompted whether you want to run the IP Office Admin Suite. Selecting Yes runs IP Office Manager.
