Easy Configuration

Easy Configuration uses the serial connection between bays in the T5/A500 Combination Charger to distribute
configuration files from one device to all devices in the charger. This feature allows new installations to quickly
complete initial device configuration and simplifies adding new devices or returning repaired devices to service.
Any of the supported device models - T5, T5m, and A500 - may be configured using this feature. Multiple models
may be configured in the charger at the same time. Please note, however, that some configurable parameters are
specific to a device's radio card. Therefore, some parameters loaded from the master device to devices with different
radios will not be effective, and devices that receive the distribution may not receive all of the desirable parameters
for their specific radios.
Note: Easy configuration should be used only with a DHCP server.

Easy Configuration: Initial Setup

The following instructions are for initially setting up the site. That is, no devices are currently connected to
VoiceConsole.
1. Create a device profile in VoiceConsole.
You can set the device profile as a "default profile," which automatically loads to any bare-platform devices. The
devices must be in standby mode and connected to VoiceConsole.
Note: The Talkman A500 model TT-802 ships as a bare-platform device. It does not have Vocollect voice
software—VoiceCatalyst or VoiceClient—preloaded.
2. In the Advanced Device Settings text box, type this parameter: "distributable"="1"
The value of "1" marks the device profile as one that can be shared with other devices using the serial connection
between bays in the T5/A500 charger. If this parameter is not placed in the device profile or if its value is set to
zero, the device profile will not be shared.
3. Follow the instructions in the VoiceConsole online help for completing the device profile.
4. Use a serial cable to load this profile to a single device.
Note: If the device profile you are loading is configured for use with static IP addresses, all the devices
will have the same IP address.

Easy Configuration: Bringing Additional T5, T5m, and A500 Devices Online

A single device has been configured using the Easy Configuration Initial Setup instructions and VoiceConsole Online
Help. The following instructions are for configuring additional devices.
1. Place a properly configured T5, T5m, or A500 device in the transmit bay in the charger. When facing the charger
bay, the transmit bay is the first bay on the right. It is identified with an off-white latch. The other bays have dark
gray latches.
2. Place the new or repaired T5, T5m, or A500 devices in the remaining charger bays.
• The LED indicators on the unconfigured devices flash green until the devices determine that they cannot reach
VoiceConsole.
