5.6Central Administration and Mass Deployment
If you are an IT manager of an organization that is rolling out a large number of Jabra GO solutions, then you might wish to use the Jabra Control Center, which is part of the Jabra PC Suite.
For advanced Jabra products with many configuration parameters, the Jabra Control Center lets you save a device’s complete configuration to a file on disk and load it into the same, or a similar device at a later point in time. This feature enables you to make a snapshot or backup of your device’s current configuration. A configuration file can be used to restore your device’s configuration at a later time if you wish to revert to a previous snapshot, or if you need to clone your settings to a new device.
For mass deployment, you can save a copy of configuration settings from one Jabra GO device on PC and quickly apply this configuration to new Jabra GO devices when you connect them to the administrator PC.
The ability to clone the configuration of one device to other similar devices is useful for mass deployment of many devices in an organization. This means that an administrator only needs to manually go through the setup of a single device and save its configuration to a file.This master configuration file can then be loaded into all devices that are deployed in the organization.
Access to a device from Jabra Control Center can be password protected, ensuring that only authorized users can change settings. Select Options > Set Password to do this. Once password protected, the entire device configuration, e.g. IntelliTone settings, desk phone and softphone settings, is protected in Jabra Control Center. The setup wizard cannot be run, the configuration cannot be reset without first entering the password.
Note: Even if the entire device configuration is protected in Jabra Control Center, settings can still be changed via the touchscreen. However, the IntelliTone settings cannot be changed (and are removed from display). From the Advanced menu, the Setup Wizard, Setup Desk Phone, Setup Softphone and Reset Configuration menu items cannot be used (and are also removed from display).
