Avaya 3641 Installation, Configuration And Administration page 91

The file indicators beside the Save buttons have four colors to indicate the status of the
file displayed in the window:
•
Red – file does not exist. The filename in the window has not been created.
•
Yellow – file not loaded. The filename in the window exists in the ConfigData folder
but has not been loaded into the Editable settings.
•
Green – unsaved edits. When changes are made in the Editable settings field(s) the
green indicator indicates these have not been saved.
•
Gray – file up-to-date. The settings have been saved.
There are two columns of configuration options. The Editable settings column shows
settings that may be saved as files. The Handset settings column shows settings that have
been copied from or may be copied to the handset in the cradle. The Copy settings arrows
and boxes allow you to copy settings to the handset column where they may then be
written to the handset in the charger. Or the configuration in a handset may be copied to
the Editable settings area and edited or saved. The Sys Grp Usr checkboxes allow you to
copy just the settings you require.
When clicked, the Read Handset and Write Handset buttons initiate the transfer of
configuration data from or to the handset in the charger.
The four labeled indicators on the right indicate the status of the configuration transfer.
Creating Your Configuration Plan
When first setting up a configuration plan you will enter information into the Editable
settings fields, indicate which of the three categories each option belongs to, and save as
System, Group or User files.
Do not create a plan that saves an option in two different categories. Option
categories should be established and should not overlap. Example: Speakerphone
and Push-to-talk settings are typically tagged as Grp options and saved in Group
files.
Once you have established which options will be categorized as System, Group or User,
enter the configuration information into the Editable settings fields. Start with the System
options and enter all system-level field values. Click the Sys category button on the left
side of the window for each option. Save these settings as a System file by entering the
filename in the System filename field and clicking Save.
Note that when a setting is changed, it is highlighted in yellow until it is saved.
In the same way, create each Group plan by entering the values in the fields designated as
Group types. Click the Grp category button on the left side of the window for each option.
Save each plan under a different name in the Group filename field.
Create one basic User file for default (or desired) values for each User field. Click the Usr
category button on the left side of the window for each option.
User settings don't necessarily need to be saved for each handset, but they can be saved
if desired. It may be useful, for example, to save a user's ring preferences from a handset
being replaced so that the new handset can be configured the same way. If you determine
that each handset configuration should be saved, it is easiest to do this during the
configuration process. See Downloading a configuration plan to a handset, below.
