6.1 Connect

6.1 Connect
Connects the PC to the PBX.
There are 3 ways to connect the PC to the PBX: RS-232C, USB, and modem.
This option allows direct entry of connection parameters, for cases where the PC is used to connect to one
or just a few PBXs, and an individual profile for each PBX is not necessary. If you connect to multiple PBXs
and would prefer to choose from among pre-saved profiles instead, see 6.3 Profile Setup for more details
about creating profiles.
When connecting to the PBX for the first time, the Quick Setup utility will run automatically. For more details,
see 8.2 Quick Setup.
