Managing announcements

555-233-506466 Issue 5 October 2002

Ending an FTP session

FTP sessions to a VAL circuit pack originate at the FTP client end. You terminate

an FTP session by

■ logging out from the FTP client (type bye or quit and press ENTER)

and

■ typing disable filesystem board board-location at the SAT and press

RETURN. (This clears the ftp-username and ftp-password.)

■ you can effectively terminate the session from the Avaya MultiVantage end

by letting the system time out (10 minutes of inactivity).

SECURITY ALERT:

Both logging out of the FTP session and disabling the VAL circuit pack

filesystem provide a higher degree of security.

NOTE:

If you only disable the circuit pack filesystem, you can continue your FTP

session. However, new FTP session logins are not allowed.

VAL Manager

VAL Manager is a standalone application that allows you to copy announcement

files and MultiVantage announcement information to and from a MultiVantage

system over a LAN connection.

VAL Manager offers the following basic features:

■ Simplified administration to add, change, and remove MultiVantage

announcement information.

■ The ability to back up and restore announcement files and information to

and from a MultiVantage system.

■ The ability to view the status of announcement on the VAL circuit pack in

any MultiVantage system.

See your Avaya representative for more information about VAL Manager.
