754 CHAPTER 18: NBX SUPPORT
Key Concepts This section outlines the key concepts of managing an NBX system using
3Com Network Director.
How 3Com Network
Director Discovers the
Phone Network
In the 3Com Network Director Network Discovery, you can specify if you
have a NBX system on your network. If you do, you can then specify the
administrator username/password that 3Com Network Director should
use to communicate with the system. See “
Discovering the Network” on
page 91
for further details.
During the discovery and topology process, 3Com Network Director will:
■ Query the NBX Call Processors on your network for the list of line
cards and phones on the system.
■ Collect information about the line cards and phones on your network.
■ Find the physical location of the line cards and phones on your
network.
