14. Web Management - Branch-to-Branch
The Branch-to-Branch is a solution for building a company intranet which provides the
ability to build a secure intranet, share data, setup voice link, and manage remote IT
resources between all your branches by using the Internet. First, a reliable, secure, and
auto recoverable connection is built between the different branches via the Internet or your
private network. Second, an intranet which can only be accessed by authorized users,
especially for the numbers or employees of the organization will be built based on this
connection. Third, the VoIP switching and data synchronization systems are automatically
setup for inter-branch communication. Finally, a centralized configuration management
platform for the administrator to organize and manage all data and resources within the
whole intranet is implemented. When the enabling the Branch-to-Branch feature, the
UMG-1000 Series can be in only one of the following modes.
STANDALONE
Standalone is a standby mode when the Branch-to-Branch feature is disabled.
HEADQUARTER
Headquarter is a server or master mode. The UMG-1000 Series in this mode will be the
master node in this group.
DIVISION
Division is a client or slave mode. The UMG-1000 Series in this mode will be a slave node
in the group and can be managed by its headquarter.
14.1 Branch-to-Branch Setup
If you want to setup up Branch-to-Branch, you must connect the UMG-1000 Series to the
Internet or your private network. Choose one system as the headquarter (server) of this
group and others as divisions (clients). Refer to Section - Branch-to-Branch Setting to setup
the configuration.
14.2 Secruity Channel
Once Branch-to-Branch is setup, the secure Intranet will be built automatically. To setup the
connection, both the headquarter and divisions will negotiate and SSL will be used for the
authentication to protect from any Internet threats. Then a VPN channel is built for the
encryption data transmission and this secure channel will be maintained until the physical
network link is down or disconnected manually.
14.3 Remote Calls
Once the connection is settled, the database of all the branches and the voice link will be
setup automatically. This means that users can call the extensions in the UMG-1000 Series
