Avaya Site Administration is a general-purpose system-management tool that simplifies basic 
administration of S8100 systems (with a G600 or CMC1 Media Gateway) and INTUITY AUDIX 
systems. Avaya Site Administration versions 1.0 and greater provide:

A graphically enhanced command-line interface (called the Graphically Enhanced DEFINITY 
Interface, or GEDI) and a terminal emulation mode for SAT administration.

Easy-to-use software with a Windows look and feel. The browser contains tabbed windows, 
menus, and dockable windows. The browser provides a tree view of the switches, voice-mail 
systems, commands, and tasks you can administer with Avaya Site Administration, as well as 
icons for accessing task wizards.

Button Label Printing (BLP) for producing station labels for users’ phones. You can print custom 
button labels on any laser printer and can preview each label before printing.

Schedule Viewer, used for scheduling tasks and monitoring their progress. You can schedule a 
command to execute at any time in the future.

History Log, which provides a history of events that Avaya Site Administration has initiated. The 
History tab displays feedback from a switch or voice-mail system about tasks that Avaya Site 
Administration has run, or attempted to run. The History Tab helps users identify and correct 
errors.
