Support Remote Monitoring

Supported Solutions

Many organizations have centralized solutions for monitoring and managing

network assets such as the HP Survivable Branch Communication zl Module

(SBM) powered by Microsoft Lync

. You can monitor the SBM remotely

using one or more of these supported remote monitoring tools:

■ OpenView Agent

■ SNMP server

■ Syslog server

■ Microsoft Operations Monitor Agent

You should refer to the documentation for your tool.

The data center engineers can also monitor and manage the SBM using the

Microsoft Lync Server tools such as:

■ Lync Server Control Panel—A GUI in which various Lync administrators

can complete tasks such as:

• Monitor Lync Servers and PSTN gateways

• Manage users

• Create voice policies, routing rules, and normalization rules

■ Lync Server Topology Builder—A GUI in which Lync administrators

define sites and their resources, including the survivable branch sites. The

SBM uses the published topology to determine which services it provides,

where to contact other servers for other services, and so forth.

■ Lync Server Management Shell—This shell provides many cumulates to

manage the Lync solution.

Lync Server 2010 features role based access control (RBAC), so the engineers

must have the correct group assignment to complete various tasks. They

should refer to Microsoft documentation for guidelines on RBAC as well as

for instructions on using the tools.
