Configuration
This chapter introduces the configuration tool Aastra Management Suite
(AMS) with its managers and auxiliary applications. With the modular Aastra
Management Suite, the installer is able to configure and service the communi-
cation server and its ancillary equipment centrally, online or offline. In addi-
tion, the access types are presented and user access control is discussed.
Other topics in this chapter include remote access, data exchange between PC
and communication server, and configuration steps.

AMS Configuration Tool
The Aastra Management Suite (AMS) is a software package used for the configura-
tion and monitoring of a single system or an entire network. The configuration can
be prepared offline and locally or remotely loaded to the configuration server. Re-
mote access means that changes and expansions can be carried out independently
of time and location, and is used for the remote maintenance of the system.
Note:
AMS is backwards compatible, i. e. configuration servers with an older
software release can also be configured with a more recent AMS version.
