Configure a Handset with a Template

A handset can be selected in the WinPDM and changes can be made directly to one or more
configuration parameters. 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
shortcuts.
Your supplier can provide example templates for different PBXs. The handset has full
functionality to the PBX even without such a template. However, by using a template, the
handset is customized for that PBX with menu options for PBX specific functions such as
Callback.
5.1.1 Create a Template
1 Open the WinPDM or the Device Manager.
2 Select the Templates tab and open the menu "Template > New...". The "New
template" window opens.
3 Select the device and parameter version that matches the software version installed
on the handset. Give the template a descriptive name.
The parameters that are not part of the template is left unchanged on the handset.
The parameter version of an installed handset is visible under the "Numbers" tab or
the "Devices" tab.
4 Select the checkbox of each parameter that you want to be part of this template and
enter the proper value.
5 Click "OK" to save your template.
5.1.2 Apply a Template
1 Open the WinPDM or the Device Manager.
2 Open the Numbers tab and select the handsets you want to apply the template to.
3 Make a right-click and select "Run template...".
Only templates with a parameters version matching the selected handsets are
shown. Select the template you want to apply and click "OK".
4 The template is applied. The number of parameters in the template affects the time it
takes to apply the template to the selected handsets.
When looking at a handset under the Numbers tab, the column "Last run template"
shows the name of the most recently applied template.
NOTE: A template can be applied to several handsets of the same device type
simultaneously using the Baseline function in the Device Manager.
