You can also forward traps from all managed video and voice communications devices to
third party monitoring systems using the Northbound Settings page in Avaya Video
Conferencing Manager Administrator or on a device-specific basis using the Northbound
tab in the Device details page for a single device. For more information refer to “Using
Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Administrator” on page 88 and “Forwarding SNMP
Traps with Northbound Settings” on page 53.
Configuring Global Settings
Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Administrator enables you to set configuration options
that affect how certain features work in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager and to disable
or re-enable Microsoft Exchange Server integration and associated options. Review the
information about this tool in “Using Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Administrator”
on page 88 to determine which configuration options you wish to change for your
environment. Avaya recommends that you configure these options before training users.
Developing a Test Environment and Plan
Avaya recommends that you create a test environment for learning how to use Avaya Video
Conferencing Manager, testing new features, and training new users. For example, after you
install Avaya Video Conferencing Manager, discover a few devices at a time in a very limited
IP address range or use a specific IP address to add a limited number of a variety of devices
to use as test devices for device management and call scheduling tasks. Isolate or limit
access to these devices. Use the device management and call scheduling procedures in this
guide to create a test plan.
If you plan to enable Microsoft Exchange Server integration, be sure to include call
scheduling through Microsoft Outlook as part of the test plan for these devices. Use the
information in “Scheduling Conferences in Microsoft Outlook” on page 80 and, if you plan to
enable it, “Specifying a Preferred Method of Participation” on page 83.
