This topic includes:

• Configuring the time and date
• Configuring system options
• Configuring SNMP queries and traps
• Configuring email setting
• Customizing the GUI appearance
• Selecting the call data storage location
• Configuring single sign on
• Configuring FortiVoice to join the Security Fabric

Configuring the time and date

The System > Configuration > Time tab lets you configure the system time and date of the FortiVoice system.

You can either manually set the FortiVoice system time or configure the FortiVoice system to automatically keep its system time correct by synchronizing with Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.

For many features to work, including scheduling, logging, and certificate-dependent features, the FortiVoice system time must be accurate. FortiVoice systems support daylight savings time (DST), including recent changes in the USA, Canada and Western Australia.

To configure the system time

1. Go to System > Configuration > Time.
2. Configure the following:

   GUI field	Description
   System time	Displays the date and time according to the FortiVoice system’s clock at the time that this tab was loaded, or when you last selected the Refresh button.
   Time zone	Select the time zone in which the FortiVoice system is located. Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time changes: Enable to adjust the FortiVoice system clock automatically when your time zone changes to daylight savings time (DST) and back to standard time.
   Set date	Select this option to manually set the date and time of the FortiVoice system’s clock, then select the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second fields before you click Apply. Alternatively, configure Synchronize with NTP server.
   Synchronize with NTP Server	Select to use a network time protocol (NTP) server to automatically set the system date and time, then configure Server. Server: Enter the IP address or domain name of an NTP server. You can add a maximum of 10 NTP servers. The FortiVoice system uses the first NTP server based on the selection mechanism of the NTP protocol. Click the + sign to add more servers. Click the - sign to remove servers. Note that you cannot remove the last server. To find the NTP servers that you can use, see http://www.ntp.org. Depending on your network traffic, it may take some time for the FortiVoice system to synchronize its time with the NTP server.

3. Click Apply.

Configuring system options

The System > Configuration > Option tab lets you set the following global settings:

• system idle timeout
• originating host name or IP address used for email notifications
• administration ports on the interfaces

To view and configure the system options

1. Go to System > Configuration > Option.
2. Configure the following:

   GUI field	Description
   Idle timeout	Enter the amount of time that an administrator may be inactive before the FortiVoice system automatically logs out the administrator. For better security, use a low idle timeout value, for example, 5 minutes.
   Web action host/IP	Enter the host name or IP address from where a email notification is sent to you when a voicemail or fax is delivered to your extension. This IP address is included in the email notification. You can open the link to view or manage the voicemail or fax. If you leave this field empty, port1 IP will be used instead. The value entered here replaces the default Url host variable for customizing messages. See Customizing call report and notification email templates.
   Administration Ports	Specify the TCP ports for administrative access on all interfaces. Default port numbers: HTTP port number: 80 HTTPS port number: 443 SSH port number: 22 TELNET port number: 23

3. Click Apply.

Configuring SNMP queries and traps

Go to System > Configuration > SNMP to configure SNMP to monitor FortiVoice system events and thresholds, or a high availability (HA) configuration for failover messages.

To monitor FortiVoice system information and receive FortiVoice traps, you must compile Fortinet proprietary MIBs as well as Fortinet-supported standard MIBs into your SNMP manager. RFC support includes support for most of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and most of RFC 1213 (MIB II). For more information, see FortiVoice MIBs.

The FortiVoice SNMP implementation is read-only. SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 compliant SNMP managers have read-only access to FortiVoice system information and can receive FortiVoice traps.

The FortiVoice SNMP v3 implementation includes support for queries, traps, authentication, and privacy. Before you can use its SNMP queries, you must enable SNMP access on the network interfaces that SNMP managers will use to access the FortiVoice system. For more information, see Editing network interfaces.

This topic includes:

• Configuring an SNMP threshold
• Configuring email setting
• Configuring an SNMP v3 user

Configuring an SNMP threshold

Configure under what circumstances an event is triggered.

To set SNMP thresholds

1. Go to System > Configuration > SNMP.
2. Configure the following:

   GUI field	Description
   SNMP agent enabled	Enable to activate the FortiVoice SNMP agent. This must be enabled to accept queries from SNMP managers or send traps from the FortiVoice system.
   Description	Enter a descriptive name for the FortiVoice system.
   Location	Enter the location of the FortiVoice system.
   Contact	Enter administrator contact information.

   Trap Type	Displays the type of trap, such as CPU Usage.
   Trigger	You can enter either the percent of the resource in use or the number of times the trigger level must be reached before it is triggered. For example, using the default value, if the mailbox disk is 90% or more full, it will trigger.
   Threshold	Sets the number of triggers that will result in an SNMP trap. For example, if the CPU level exceeds the set trigger percentage once before returning to a lower level, and the threshold is set to more than one, an SNMP trap will not be generated until that minimum number of triggers occurs during the sample period.
   Sample Period(s)	Sets the time period in seconds during which the FortiVoice SNMP agent counts the number of triggers that occurred. This value should not be less than the Sample Freq(s) value.
   Sample Freq(s)	Sets the interval in seconds between measurements of the trap condition. You will not receive traps faster than this rate, depending on the selected sample period. This value should be less than the Sample Period(s) value.
   Community	Displays the list of SNMP communities (for SNMP v1 and v2c) added to the FortiVoice configuration. For information about configuring a community, see either Configuring email setting or Configuring an SNMP v3 user.

Configuring an SNMP v1 and v2c community

An SNMP community is a grouping of equipment for SNMP-based network administration purposes. You can add up to three SNMP communities so that SNMP managers can connect to the FortiVoice system to view system information and receive SNMP traps. You can configure each community differently for SNMP traps and to monitor different events. You can add the IP addresses of up to eight SNMP managers to each community.

To configure an SNMP community

1. Go to System > Configuration > SNMP.
2. Under Community, click New to add a community or select a community and click Edit.

   The SNMP Community page appears.

3. Configure the following:

   GUI field	Description
   Enabled	Enable to send traps to and allow queries from the community’s SNMP managers.
   Name	Enter a name to identify the SNMP community. If you are editing an existing community, you cannot change the name. You can add up to 16 communities.
   Community Hosts	Lists SNMP managers that can use the Setting in this SNMP community to monitor the FortiVoice system. Click Create to create a new entry. You can add up to 16 hosts.
   IP Address	Enter the IP address of an SNMP manager. By default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0, so that any SNMP manager can use this SNMP community.
   Create (button)	Click to add a new default entry to the Hosts list that you can edit as needed.
   Delete (button)	Click to remove this SNMP manager.
   Queries	Enter the Port number (161 by default) that the SNMP managers in this community use for SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c queries to receive configuration information from the FortiVoice system. Mark the Enable check box to activate queries for each SNMP version.
   Traps	Enter the Local Port and Remote Port numbers (162 local, 162 remote by default) that the FortiVoice system uses to send SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c traps to the SNMP managers in this community. Enable traps for each SNMP version that the SNMP managers use. Enable each SNMP event for which the FortiVoice system should send traps to the SNMP managers in this community. Not all events will trigger traps because FortiVoice checks its status in a scheduled interval. For example, FortiVoice checks its hardware status every 60 seconds. This means that if the power is off for a few seconds but is back on before the next status check, no system event trap will be sent.

4. Click Create.

Configuring an SNMP v3 user

SNMP v3 adds more security by using authentication and privacy encryption. You can specify an SNMP v3 user on FortiVoice so that SNMP managers can connect to the FortiVoice system to view system information and receive SNMP traps.

To configure an SNMP v3 user

1. Go to System > Configuration > SNMP.
2. Under User, click New to add a user or select a user and click Edit.

   The SNMPv3 User page appears.

   You can add up to 16 users.

3. Configure the following:

   Enabled	Enable to send traps to and allow queries from the user’s SNMP managers.
   User name	Enter a name to identify the SNMP user. If you are editing an existing user, you cannot change the name.
   Security level	Choose one of the three security levels: No authentication, no privacy: This option is similar to SNMP v1 and v2. Authentication, no privacy: This option enables authentication only. The SNMP manager needs to supply a password that matches the password you specify on FortiVoice. You must also specify the authentication protocol (either SHA1 or MD5). Authentication, privacy: This option enables both authentication and encryption. You must specify the protocols and passwords. Both the protocols and passwords on the SNMP manager and FortiVoice must match.
   Authentication Protocol	For Security level, if you select either Authentication option, you must specify the authentication protocol and password. Both the authentication protocol and password on the SNMP manager and FortiVoice must match.
   Privacy protocol	For Security level, if you select Privacy, you must specify the encryption protocol and password. Both the encryption protocol and password on the SNMP manager and FortiVoice must match.
   Notification Hosts	Lists the SNMP managers that FortiVoice will send traps to. Click Create to create a new entry. You can add up to 16 host.
   IP Address (button)	Enter the IP address of an SNMP manager. By default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0, so that any SNMP manager can use this SNMP user.
   Create (button)	Click to add a new default entry to the Hosts list that you can edit as needed.
   Delete (button)	Click to remove this SNMP manager.
   Queries	Double click the default port number (161) to enter the Port number that the SNMP managers use for SNMP v3 queries to receive configuration information from the FortiVoice system. Select the Enable check box to activate queries.
   Traps	Double click the default local port (162) and remote port number (162) to enter the Local Port and Remote Port numbers that the FortiVoice system uses to send SNMP v3 traps to the SNMP managers. Select the Enable check box to activate traps. Enable each SNMP event for which the FortiVoice system should send traps to the SNMP managers. Not all events trigger traps because the FortiVoice system checks its status at a scheduled interval. For example, FortiVoice checks its hardware status every 60 seconds. This means that if the power is off for a few seconds but is back on before the next status check, no system event trap will be sent.

4. Click Create.

FortiVoice MIBs

The FortiVoice SNMP agent supports Fortinet proprietary Management Information Base (MIB) as well as standard RFC 1213 and RFC 2665 MIBs. RFC support includes support for the parts of RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and the parts of RFC 1213 (MIB II) that apply to FortiVoice system configuration.

The FortiVoice MIBs are listed in FortiVoice MIBs. You can obtain these MIB files from Fortinet technical support. To communicate with the SNMP agent, you must compile these MIBs into your SNMP manager.

Your SNMP manager may already include standard and private MIBs in a compiled database that is ready to use. You must add the Fortinet proprietary MIB to this database. If the standard MIBs used by the Fortinet SNMP agent are already compiled into your SNMP manager you do not have to compile them again.

FortiVoice MIBs

FortiVoice traps

The FortiVoice system’s SNMP agent can send traps to SNMP managers that you have added to SNMP communities. To receive traps, you must load and compile the FortiVoice trap MIB into the SNMP manager.

All traps sent include the trap message as well as the FortiVoice system serial number and host name.

MIB fields

Trap	Description
fvTrapStorageDiskHighThreshold	Trap sent if log disk usage and mailbox disk usage become too high.
fvTrapSystemEvent	Trap sent when the system performs actions such as shutting down, rebooting, and upgrading.
fmlTrapHAEvent	Trap sent when an HA event occurs.

The Fortinet MIB contains fields reporting current FortiVoice system status information. The tables below list the names of the MIB fields and describe the status information available for each. You can view more details about the information available from all Fortinet MIB fields by compiling the MIB file into your SNMP manager and browsing the MIB fields.

Selecting the call data storage location

The System > Configuration > Storage tab lets you configure local or remote storage of call data such as the recorded calls, faxes, and voicemails.

FortiVoice systems can store call data either locally or remotely. FortiVoice systems support remote storage by a network attached storage (NAS) server using the network file system (NFS) protocol.

NAS has the benefits of remote storage which include ease of backing up the call data and more flexible storage limits. Additionally, you can still access the call data on the NAS server if your FortiVoice system loses connectivity.

If the FortiVoice system is a member of an active-passive HA group, and the HA group stores call data on a remote NAS server, disable call data synchronization to prevent duplicate call data traffic. For details, see Configuring the HA mode and group.

If you store the call data on a remote NAS device, you cannot back up the data. You can only back up the call data stored locally on the FortiVoice hard disk. For information about backing up call data, see Backing up the configuration.

   Configuring single sign on

   Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO) is the authentication protocol by which users can transparently authenticate to Fortinet devices. The authentication system (FortiAuthenticator, ADFS, or Centrify) identifies and authenticates users based on their authentication from a different system.

   The FortiVoice SSO configuration involves the participation of a network authentication system, such as FortiAuthenticator. The network authentication system can be integrated with the FortiVoice system to poll administrator logon information and send it to the FortiVoice system.

   FortiAuthenticator is used as the example authentication system here. For more information, see FortiAuthenticator Administration Guide.

   For other systems, refer to their user manuals for configuration information.

   You need to have both systems open and switch between the two to exchange authentication information.

   After you complete the FortiVoice SSO configuration and log into the FortiVoice system, the Single Sign On button will appear on the login page. You can click it and enter the login credential of the FortiAuthenticator user account created for the FortiVoice administrator with single sign on authentication type.

   Note that after SSO is enabled:

   • All administrator login authentication is controlled by the FortiAuthenticator system. Disabled administrator accounts should not be authenticated by FortiAuthenticator.
   • The FortiVoice administrator portal must be accessed using HTTPS (such as https://fortivoice_ip_or_hostname).
   • Logging out of FortiVoice administrator portal will also log out of the FortiAuthenticator system.
