Installation Considerations
As with any major telecommunications installation, it is necessary to have a
detailed installation plan before actual installation begins. Before you begin
installing the ETM
®
System, take the time to conduct a thorough site survey
to identify the details of the telecommunications environment the ETM
System is to monitor and the TCP/IP network on which it is to
communicate. This approach helps minimize unforeseen complications
arising from unique characteristics of a site's phone system or TCP/IP
network.
Typically, ETM Appliances install transparently in front of the PBX,
allowing your telecom administrators to control the PBX, while security
administrators enforce security Policy. The diagram below illustrates how a
typical completed ETM 3200 Appliance installation might look. This
example demonstrates several typical characteristics of an ETM System
deployment:
Appliance location adjacent to PBX
Dedicated subnet
Remote ETM System Console on user's desktop machine
