System Management Interface

System Management Interface (SMI) is the single point of access for your Messaging system and the license server. You can open SMI from any standard Web browser from anywhere within the firewall of your organization.

SMI has three interfaces:

• The licensing administration interface to view the status of the server license.

• The Messaging administration interface to gain access to administration, diagnostic, and reporting tools to set up, manage, and maintain your Messaging system.

  In addition to monitoring system status, you can also use the Messaging administration interface to administer:

  • Server roles, trusted and hosted servers, sites, and topology

  • Features like Auto Attendant and call transfer

  • IMAP and SMTP

  • Users and CoS

• The server administration interface to configure, maintain, and troubleshoot Messaging servers.
