1.1 Scope of this Document
The Extended Communication Server includes a user-friendly administration
graphical-interface the administrator can access using a Web browser. This graphical interface
provides a comprehensive online help, which is enough for common administration operations.
This document intends to guide the administrator through the first installation and configuration
steps, so that he is able to insert the server in the customer network and allow the end-users
to communicate. The administrator will later explore by himself the numerous available
features and settings the Extended Communication Server provides, referring to the online
help for information when needed.
1.2 Product Overview
Extended Communication Server is a powerful collaboration and mobility solution for small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) including:
- a set of collaboration tools to share information efficiently within a team, a group, a project,
or the company
- a mobile, secure and easy access to all enterprise collaboration tools
- a unified communication solution integrated with OmniPCX Office
- a secure Web management and an easy deployment
- a full set of information technology (IT) servers
- a Web hosting server

1.4 User Profiles and Graphical Interfaces
The Extended Communication Server accepts three kinds of users:
- One administrator, who manages the user accounts and controls and monitors all
resources and features, such as network architecture, security measures, e-mail facilities,
Web access, etc. Administration is done using a graphical administration interface.
- A number of users, who manage their own accounts and benefit from available services
through a graphical user interface called the Virtual Desktop. Users can also access these
services from the Mobile Virtual Desktop using mobile terminals such as PDA (Personal
Digital Assistant).
$%#%#&
!
1-3
- Some delegated administrators, who are users that have a limited set of administration
rights. A delegated administrator can access both the Virtual Desktop and the graphical
administration interface limited to some menus.
The administrator and the users access the graphical administration interface or the Virtual
desktop in the same way, using a Web browser. When the user logs on, the Extended
Communication Server serves whether the graphical administration interface or the Virtual
Desktop according to the user identity and password that have been typed in. A delegated
administrator can swap from the Virtual Desktop to the graphical administration interface, or
vice versa, by the means of graphical buttons only available to delegated-administrator profile
users.
Note:
The administrator is not exactly a user as he is not registered in the user database. The administrator
must create a user account for himself if he needs to access the Virtual Desktop.
1.4.1 Graphical Administration Interface
The graphical administration interface access is via a secured connection (https) using any
standard Web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator...). The
administrator accesses this interface from the local network or remotely, over the Internet. As
an alternative, he can display the administration interface on a screen connected directly on
the server, together with a keyboard and a mouse.
The administration interface is an easy-to-use tool providing four main menus to manage the
Extended Communication Server, the services, the end-users, and control and monitor the
traffic.

Figure 1.3: Graphical Administration Interface
All menus provide a set of submenus, which the administrator access from the left-hand panel
or by clicking corresponding icons. According to his own preference, the administrator can
minimize the left hand panel for accessing the submenus through icons only.
The administration interface provides a permanent help button ( ) the administrator can click
whatever menu or submenu is displayed. This opens a pop-up window, which provides a
useful contextual online help. Each help page is printable.
Figure 1.4: Contextual Online Help Example
Using the intuitive administration interface together with the online help, the administrator can
explore the number of available features and services the Extended Communication Server
provides.
1.4.2 Virtual Desktop
A user Connects to the Virtual Desktop in the same way the administrator connects to the
administration interface except that the name and password are those of a standard user.

When the Virtual Desktop session is open, the user can manage his services: Web mails,
calendar, contacts, favorite sites, and so on.

The Virtual Desktop consists of a set of intuitive interface controls to manage the services and
a comprehensive online help to obtain information when needed.

First of all, we recommend you to read this document and examine the customer needs
thoroughly.
You should then prepare the Extended Communication Server installation considering the
following topics:
- Network architecture:
• LAN
• DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
• Internet Access
- IP addressing plan, including:
• Local machines that need static addresses
• Dynamic assignment planning
- Information from the ISP (Internet Service Provider), such as IP addresses of the DNS
servers.
- Public domain name
- User management, including:
• User groups
• User accounts
• User access rights to services
• Delegated administrators, if any
- Security policy, including firewall and proxy management

After reading this chapter, you will be able to start up the Extended Communication Server and
access the graphical administration interface.
2.1 Introduction
Two modes are provided for accessing the administration interface for the first time:
- A direct access, the server being equipped with a screen, a keyboard and a mouse
- From a local PC connected to the server
Figure 2.1: Using a Direct Access or a Local PC
2.2 Starting Up with a Direct Access
To start up and access the Extended Communication Server administration interface with a
direct access
1. Unpack the server.
2. Connect the power cable.
3. Connect a screen, a keyboard and a mouse to the server.
The server has one VGA port for connecting the screen, and PS/2 ports or USB ports for
connecting a keyboard and a mouse.
4. Switch on the server.

The Linux Kernel starts up.
5. At the login prompt:
• Type the default identifier: superadmin
• Type the default password: %rV&A1uc
• Click OK
The integrated Web browser starts up.
6. A message warns you that you are about to enter a secured session. Click yes to continue.
7. A login dialog box is displayed:
• Type the default identifier: superadmin
• Type the default password: %rV&A1uc
• Click OK
You have now access to the administration interface.
2.3 Starting Up from a Local PC
To start up the Extended Communication Server from a local PC
1. Unpack the server.
2. Connect the power cable.
3. Switch on the server.
4. Using an Ethernet crossover cable, connect the local PC to the LAN1 (eth0) Ethernet
interface of the server.
Note 1:
If the PC Ethernet port is "autosensing", an Ethernet straight cable can also be used.
Note 2:
Both Compact and Premium edition platforms have three Ethernet interfaces. Looking at the back
panel, the LAN1 Ethernet port (eth0) is the left-most Ethernet port.
