The Web Console provides a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to perform most administration functions.
The Web Console supports two user types:
System superuser: Two superusers ("admin" and "root") are created when the system is originally installed. They have access to all features and server resources.
FPSA user: Funtionally Partitioned System Administration (FPSA) users can access features and server resources based on which "permission categories" they have been assigned by the system superuser. For example, an FPSA user with permission category six is limited to accessing network and network-related features in the console.
To log in to the NuPoint Unified Messaging Web Console:
Open a web browser and navigate to http://<IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name>/npm-admin
Enter your user name and password, select the Server from the drop-down list, and then click Login.
Conditions for FPSA Users:
Up to five different FPSA users can be logged in to Web Console simultaneously. If a sixth FPSA user attempts to log in, access will be denied.
An FPSA user can only have one login session. If a user opens a second session on the same or another client PC, the first session will be terminated.
A client PC can support only one login session. If a user opens a second session on the same client PC, the first session will be terminated.
After five minutes of inactivity, an FPSA login session will expire automatically.
After three unsuccessful login attempts, an FPSA user will be locked out and must contact the system superuser to have his or her password reset.
Conditions for System Superusers:
After 30 minutes of inactivity, a system superuser login session will expire automatically.
After three unsuccessful login attempts, a system superuser will be locked out for 20 minutes. If more unsuccessful logins are attempted, the console will locks itself indefinitely and the administrator must use the UNIX shell to unlock it via SSH/PuTTY. See Unlocking the System Superuser Account, below, for details.
The Web Console is supported on the following web browsers:
Microsoft Edge
Internet Explorer
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Once the Web Console is locked (temporarily or permanently), you can log in using SSH/PuTTY and invoke the following command:
% /usr/vm/bin/unlocksona
The system prompts you for the password. After it is entered, the web console and SOAP interface are unlocked. The administrator can refresh (F5) the login page in the web browser and log in with the correct password.
Note: For more information about SSH/PuTTY access, see the NuPoint Unified Messaging Technician's Handbook.
Use the menu on the left-hand panel to navigate the Web Console. The menus are divided into the following main categories:
Mailbox Maintenance
Report Generation
Audit Trail
Class of Service
Active Configuration
Offline Configuration
Auto Attendant
Unified Messaging
Call Director
Alarm Manager
FPSA Manager
Utilities
Activate Configuration
Version
Click each top-level menu to expand the menus for that category. Click an expanded menu item to display the corresponding feature in the right-hand panel. High-level menu items have a circle next to them. With the exception of the Edit Offline Configuration menu, clicking the circle expands and contracts its submenus. Submenu items with a square beside them provide access to the features.
Users can reach console menus only if they have the proper FPSA permission category (or categories).
