EMS Server - Installation and Setup
When configuring a single node using the direct connect scenario, the node can be configured through use of a single Web UI application running on a Web Browser. If a user wants to configure numerous IMG 2020 nodes using a single Web Browser and Web UI application, Sangoma's EMS software must be utilized. In this scenario, the IMG 2020 nodes communicate with the Web UI application through the EMS software. The EMS software needs to be running on either a Virtual Machine or a separate server running one of the supported Linux versions (see EMS Server Specifications). Sangoma can supply a customer with either a VM image with the EMS software installed or a separate Linux Server with the EMS software installed. The procedures and information below describe the setup and configuration required to configure a server to be able to control the IMG 2020's using the Multi Node setup.

Important!!! If purchasing a single node direct connect system and the plans are to expand to multiple nodes, initially purchasing a Multi Node setup with EMS software will make it easier to expand to more than one node. The configuration used in the single node scenario cannot be used in the multi node setup and the node will need to be completely re-configured. However, it is possible to use the Offline Configurator software to modify a Direct Connect configuration so that it will be usable for a Multi Node setup. Refer to the Offline Configurator topic for details on setting that up.
