2.7 Basic 5700 VFA Operations
This section will list the various tasks required to set up the 5700 VFA for a typical
video network. At the end of each description, the location of detailed explanations
are provided.
1. Set up administrators.
Enter the administrators and their various privileges into the system. The
available privilege levels are Super User, Monitor System and View
System Properties. See “Setting Up Administrators” on page 4-1.
2. Set up the 5700 VFA configuration.
Define the various properties of the system’s configuration, such as
connection details, open or closed mode for registering end points, and so
on. See Chapter 5, “Setting 5700 VFA System Properties.”
3. Define default settings for end points and other nodes in templates.
A template includes the characteristic properties for a type of node or
service. Any new created item in the system will initially have the default
properties defined in the template. See “Setting Up Templates” on
page 4-28.
4. Set up end point configurations.
End points may be registered with the default properies defined in a
template or be set following their login requests. See Chapter 6, “Defining
End Point Nodes.”
5. Create and set up hunting groups.
A hunting group includes a series of nodes that may be grouped together
within an organization for a variety of reasons, but may be reached
through one common address. See “Adding Hunting Groups” on
page 4-30.
6. Create and set up administrative groups.
Administrative Groups of nodes in the Main View can help maintain a
visual structure for nodes and the teams and departments to which they
belong. This also makes it easier to control end point properties that need
to be common within a team or department, such as limiting the available
bandwidth for the group. See “Adding an Administrative Group” on
page 4-35.
