Features
Forum 523/524 records important events and errors in an internal
logbook, the error store. Entries in the logbook (system mes-
sages) can also be sent by e-mail to inform or alert system
administrators.
Further Network Features
You can also offer your staff the option of dialling into the LAN by
means of RAS access. This type of connection can also be made
using an encrypted Internet data connection (VPN, Virtual Private
Network).
Branch offices can also be linked via ISDN or VPN. This means
that two Forum 523/524 can connect their LANs either by dialling
in on demand or using an encrypted Internet data connection.
You can query the internal phone book of the Forum 523/524
communications system via LDAP. It is also possible to integrate
entries of an external directory via LDAP. Furthermore, integration
into a network administration solution via SNMP is possible. For
further information on the various application interfaces, please
refer to
Application Interfaces starting on page 207.
