A summons is a paper issued by a court informing a person that a complaint has been filed against her. It may be served by a sheriff or other authorized person for service of process, called a process server.
An alias summons is also sometimes called a pluries summons, which more generally refers to an additional summons.
A case management conference is usually the first opportunity for both sides of a lawsuit to see each other and determine the strength of their cases. It's also an opportunity for the court to set a schedule of events which will take place in the course of the lawsuit.
All lawsuits involve a series of events which ultimately lead to the trial. Before the trial, both parties may collect information (called "discovery") which can be used at the trial. At the case management conference, you can determine a schedule for both parties to produce documents, answer interrogatories (questions about facts), and set up depositions.
While you can use the case management conference to discuss the case with the other side and discuss potential settlement, you do not have to do so.
