Planning the Configuration Files

Each configurable option may be categorized as one of three types: System (
Group ( ) or User (
Grp
the entire system. DHCP vs. Static IP addressing would be an example of a System
option. Options that are designated as Group type should be those that change by
category of user. PTT Allow/Disallow and PTT Channel are examples. A unique
extension number is assigned to each handset by the system administrator and would
be a User type. The remaining User types should be reserved for options that are
normally set by the end user. For Standby menu options such as Ring Type and
Noise Mode, default values may be entered with the expectation that the user may
change them.

Typical configuration plans

Because the specific options that are available depend on the software version and
License Option, the typical plan options for your facility may be different than those
listed here.
Typical System file settings:
System file settings typically do not change across an installation. These are typical
categories:
Sys
• License Option
• Network Config
• IP Addressing
• ESSID
• Security
Typical Group file settings:
If certain groups of people require different access to functions, such as push to talk,
these options would be stored as Group files. Several different Group files can be
established and the handsets can be configured by group. Typical
• Push-to-talk options on both Admin and Standby menus
Typical User file settings:
If a setting can be changed by the user in the Standby menu, then it would typically
be stored in a User file. These can be the default settings or whatever your system
requires. Typical
• Extension
• Static IP address
• Ring Options
• Phone Options
You may have zones in your facility that require different System settings,
such as security. These settings can be moved to a Group file or you may set
up two System files.
