Configure a Handset with a Template

A template contains one or more parameter settings. By using a template, the same
configuration can easily be applied to many handsets simultaneously. Templates are also an
efficient way to give good control over which changes that are applied to each handset.
Templates enables configuration of all aspects of a handset from sound volume to keypad short
cuts.
Your supplier can provide example templates for different PBX's. The handset will have full
functionality towards the PBX even without such a template. By using such a template, though,
the handset will be customized for that PBX with menu options for PBX specific functions such
as Callback.
A template can be created (see
Device Manager (PDM), Windows Version Installation and Operation Manual).
Note: The 5603 Wireless Handset ships with default in-call and out-of-call menus tailored for
operation with the MCD (3300 ICP). Templates for these same menus for use with the Mitel
5000 CP Release 6.0 and higher are available and can be applied using the Desktop PDM with
the Desktop Programmer or WSM3.
