Cisco uOne administration system allows you to perform administrative tasks such as adding, changing and deleting Classes of Service and uOne users. This chapter explains how to perform these administrative tasks.
 |
Caution It is critical that if you change the NT Administrator password, you also change the password for the Netscape Messaging server. If these passwords do not match, uOne users are not able to access their mailboxes. |
To correct the problem of non-matching passwords:
a. Select Start from the Windows taskbar, then choose Programs, Administrative Tools, then Event Viewer. A logon error for the Messaging server will appear within the list of log files.
b. Close the Event Viewer.
Step 2 Select Start from the Windows taskbar, then choose Settings, Control Panel, then Services.
Step 3 Double-click on Netscape Messaging Server.
Step 4 In the Password text box, enter the password used for the NT Administrator. Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password dialog box and click OK.
Step 5 Select Netscape Messaging Server from the Services list and click on the Start button. Close the Services window.
|
Caution It is imperative that the NT Administrator and Messaging Server passwords match. The steps above assume that the NT Administrator password has been changed. However, if the Netscape Messaging server password is changed, you MUST also change the NT Administrator password so that both passwords match. |
You use the uPower/Admin tools to perform system administration tasks like adding a Class of Service and adding users. When a system administrator adds a user to uOne using uPower, the system creates a profile for the user in the Netscape Directory Server. This user profile information includes the user's mailbox ID, uOne password, and the class of service, as well as various settings and options. It also creates a mailbox for the user on the Netscape Messaging Server. This mailbox, identified by the user's telephone number, contains an inbox folder and a trash folder, and may contain other folders that the user creates.
During installation of uOne, a shortcut for the uOne Administration is added to the Start Menu that allows you to easily load the Netscape Browser and bring up the uPower/Admin web page.
You access uPower/Admin, a web-based tool, to:
To access uPower/Admin, do the following
Step 2 Select Programs, then Cisco uOne.
Step 3 Select the uOne Administration option to access uPower Administration.
You can also access the uPower/Admin manually by the following steps.
Step 2 Select Programs, then Netscape Communicator.
Step 3 Select the Netscape Navigator option to access the browser.
Step 4 Type the following URL in the browser location field:
This will bring up the login screen for the System Administration tool.
uPower Administration Login
Step 5 Type the following e-mail ID and password to authenticate:
e-mail id: root@<fully qualified messaging server host name>
password: 1234
Step 6 Press Login.
A class of service is like a template that defines a common set of uOne services for a group of users. Classes of Service (COS) can be used to bundle feature sets into distinct packages that define certain attributes of an account, such as the type of service (voice and e-mail), mailbox quotas, number of distribution lists, and the size of distribution lists.
The COS function facilitates administration of common features by user group. Only the Systems Administrator can change the features covered under the COS; they cannot be customized by individual users. When an attribute is changed in a COS, it is changed for all the users in that COS.
You can use Classes of Service to provide different bundles of services to match different types of users. For example, your company may have one set of users who mainly work at their desks and require a limited set of services ("class of service 1"), and a second set of users who are always on the road and require a larger set of service ("class of service 2").
To add a COS, perform the following steps.
Step 2 Click the COS Administration button.
Step 3 Click either Add a Class of Service or Modify a Class of Service. If you click Modify a Class of Service, you need to enter the Class of Service profile you would like to modify.
Step 4 Enter the appropriate data in the input fields, as shown in Table 2-1.
Step 5 Click Submit
Step 6 To add or modify another Class of Service, repeat steps 3 through 5.

Note The Administrator must move or delete all subscribers from a Class of Service before attempting to delete the Class of Service. |
Before users can access their uOne accounts, they must be added to the system. In addition, if user information changes, the system administrator must make the appropriate changes in the system. To perform these functions, you use the web based uPower/Admin tool.
To add a new user or modify an existing user, follow these steps.
Step 2 Click on the Subscriber Administration button.
