Save a Handset Configuration as a Template

All handset settings can be saved as a template. Note that this does not include contacts
and other personal data. The template contains only configuration data.
This template can be used as a backup if the handset configuration needs to be restored at
a later stage or as a template that can be applied to a number of handsets.
1 Some parameters are user specific. If it is decided to apply this type of template to
several handsets, it is recommended to exclude the following parameters:
• Owner ID - A text string specified in idle mode. The parameter is located directly
under "Settings".
• Phone lock PIN code - The security code used to unlock the keypad. The parameter
is located under Settings > Locks.
2 Open PDM or the Device Manager.
3 In the Numbers tab, right-click the handset you want to save as a template.
4 Select "Use as a template...". Enter a descriptive name for the template.
5 The Edit template window is opened. By default, all parameters are selected and are
saved when clicking on "OK".
If one or more parameters should be excluded, remove them by clearing the checkbox
next to the parameter.
6 Click "OK".
5.1.4

Synchronizing a Handset with PDM/Device Manager

After installing and saving, the handset is synchronized every time it is connected to the
PDM. The synchronization transfers parameter changes between the handset and the PDM
and vice versa as follows:
• If a parameter has been changed in the handset, it is transferred to the PDM/Device
Manager.
• If a parameter has been changed in the PDM/Device Manager while the handset was
disconnected, it is transferred to the handset.
If the same parameter has been changed in both the PDM/Device Manager and the handset,
the value in PDM/Device Manager is transferred to the handset.

Voicemail

In some systems the handset number needs to be assigned to the Voicemail service. The
parameter can be set specifically for each PBX subscription on the handset and is accessed
from Systems > System x > PBX Settings > Numbers. "System x" is replaced with the
subscription (System A - System H) that is configured.
5.2.1

Wildcard Characters in Voicemail Number

When programming voicemail dial strings in PDM/Device Manager, a wildcard character, N,
can be used to represent the phone extension number.
For example, a PBX uses voicemail numbers that are a combination of a base voicemail
number and the phone extension number. If the base voicemail number is 2222 and the
extension number is 4455, the voicemail number is 22224455. Using the N wildcard
character this can be written as: 2222N
