Save a Handset Configuration as a Template

Handset settings can be saved as a template. Please note that this template does not include contacts and
other personal data. The template only contains configuration data.
This template can be used as a backup to restore the configuration of the handset at a later stage or as a
template that can be applied to a number of handsets.
1. Open the WinPDM/Device Manager.
2. Open the Numbers tab and select the handset you want to save as a template.
3. Make a right-click and select Use as template....
4. The Enter a template name window opens. Enter a descriptive name for the template.
5. The Edit template window opens. By default, all parameters are selected and are saved when clicking
OK.
If one or more parameters should be excluded, remove them by clearing the checkbox next to the
parameter.
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 displayed 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.
6. Click OK.

Synchronizing a Handset with WinPDM/Device Manager

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

Voicemail

In some systems it is needed to assign the handset number of 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 WinPDM/Device Manager, a wildcard character, N, can be
used to represent the phone's extension number.
For example, a PBX uses Voicemail numbers that are a combination of a base Voicemail number and the
phone's 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.
