You should use the Local Configuration Manager to initialize each of the 
IntelliJacks installed on your network. Once you have completed that step, you can 
manage all of them with the Central Configuration Manager. 
Install this program on any computer on your network you want to use as a 
central management console (See chapter 2, “Installing the Configuration 
Managers” for help). You can use the same machine that has your SNMP-based 
management platform. The Central Configuration Manager will be able to 
configure and manage all of the IntelliJacks that reside on your network.
We recommend that you keep the Central Configuration Manager (CCM) running 
on your machine. Information such as traps and alerts are sent to the CCM on a 
periodic basis. If you shut off the machine or close the configuration manager, you 
will not be able to receive this information.
Discovering 
IntelliJacks on Your 
Network
In order to manage the IntelliJacks on your network, the Central Configuration 
Manager needs to include them in its database. The easiest way to add new 
IntelliJacks to the database is to use the device discovery tool included in the 
Central Configuration Manager.
