the global management screen shown in figure 2-52 contains icons used to configure the following global management for the viewstation:
1 gms setup: configures gms properties.
2 info 1: provides for contact and support for the gms system.
gms setup
the global management screen (system info ] admin setup ] lan/h.323 ] global management ] gms setup) shown in figure 2-53 is used to configure the global management options. these options are:
allow remote monitoring:
1 checked: the viewstation system administrator may view a call or view the room where the viewstation camera is installed.
2 not checked: no video is sent to the viewstation system administrator page. see "system information and remote management" on page 149.
for privacy reasons, the allow remote monitoring option can only be enabled or disabled from the viewstation. viewstation users with a lan or private network may wish to consider whether this feature should be enabled or disabled.
time difference from gmt: specifies the number of hours ahead or behind greenwich mean time (gmt).
daylight savings time (dst):
1 checked: where dst is used.
2 not checked: where dst is not used.
require account number to dial: gms 2.0 or later is required to use this option.
1 checked: this feature is used to log calls to a specific account for tracking and billing purposes. when selected, a call cannot be made without first entering an account number. this account number is saved in the gms server database along with information specific to the call. typically, the gms administrator assigns the account number.
2 not checked: account numbers are not required to place a call, and information specific to the call is not maintained in the gms database.
validate account number: this feature appears when the require account number to dial option is checked. when this is checked, the viewstation validates user account numbers against an account number profile assigned by the gms administrator.
select server urls: enter the ip address for the computer where global management system is installed.
if access to the gab server is not available, check for an incorrect ip address in the global management screen (system info ] admin setup ] lan/h.323 ] global management ] gms setup).
global management information
the global management information screen (system info ] admin setup ] lan/h.323 ] global management ] info 1) provides for contact and support information for the global management system.
