Avaya Site Administration overview
Avaya Site Administration is a general-purpose system-management tool that simplifies basic
administration of S8100 systems (with a G600 or CMC1 Media Gateway) and INTUITY AUDIX
systems. Avaya Site Administration versions 1.0 and greater provide:
• A graphically enhanced command-line interface (called the Graphically Enhanced DEFINITY
Interface, or GEDI) and a terminal emulation mode for SAT administration.
• Easy-to-use software with a Windows look and feel. The browser contains tabbed windows,
menus, and dockable windows. The browser provides a tree view of the switches, voice-mail
systems, commands, and tasks you can administer with Avaya Site Administration, as well as
icons for accessing task wizards.
• Button Label Printing (BLP) for producing station labels for users’ phones. You can print custom
button labels on any laser printer and can preview each label before printing.
• Schedule Viewer, used for scheduling tasks and monitoring their progress. You can schedule a
command to execute at any time in the future.
• History Log, which provides a history of events that Avaya Site Administration has initiated. The
History tab displays feedback from a switch or voice-mail system about tasks that Avaya Site
Administration has run, or attempted to run. The History Tab helps users identify and correct
errors.
