UNDERSTANDING
TERMINALS AND
PRINTERS
Overview
System managers and service personnel use terminals to communicate with servers.
System manager terminals and optional printers are discussed in this chapter.
Understanding System Manager Terminals
The system manager terminal (SMT) is a video-display terminal that is connected to the
server. An optional printer can also be connected to the SMT.
System managers use SMTs to access the server menus to perform the following
administrative tasks:
-
Setting up and controlling the Aria voice messaging system through the SMT menus
-
Entering, changing, and receiving administrative information
-
Ensuring correct server operation
-
Optimizing server efficiency
Service personnel use SMTs to perform system maintenance and troubleshooting. Figure 1-1
is an example of an SMT connected to a server, with a printer connected to the SMT.
