Disabling the Auto
Discover Feature
Configuring the
Operating Mode
After you finish the Auto Discover process for the initial configuration,
you can disable it so that the Call Processor does not continue to search
for added devices. To disable the Auto Discover feature:
1 Log in to the NBX NetSet utility using the administrator username and
password.
2 In the NBX NetSet - Main Menu window, click
3 Click
System-wide
4 Clear all Auto Discover
5 Click .
Apply
6 Click OK to close the dialog box.
You can configure the NBX system to behave in one of the three
traditional telephone system modes:
Key mode
■
CO lines map to individual buttons on users' telephones. To configure
key mode behavior using the NBX NetSet utility, use Button Mappings
and the Auto Extension setting for each line card port. Button
Mappings enable you to map a line card port extension to a specific
Access button on a 3Com telephone. Button Mappings identify the
telephones that ring when a call comes in on the mapped CO line.
Auto Extension specifies the destination of a call that is not answered
at any of the telephones.
PBX mode
■
CO lines are pooled and arbitrated by the Call Processor. The CO lines
do not map to individual telephones. All incoming calls go first to a
receptionist's telephone or the Automated Attendant. If the call goes
to a receptionist's telephone, the receptionist forwards the call to the
user's extension, or if the user is out of the office, the call can be sent
directly to the user's voice mailbox. To call an outside number, a user
must dial the line pool access number, typically 9, and the Call
Processor assigns the next available line. PBX mode allows you to
make maximum use of a limited number of CO lines.
Hybrid mode
■
Combines key mode and PBX mode. Some CO lines are mapped
directly to telephones, while the rest are pooled.
