4.Planning the Configuration Files
Each configurable option may be categorized as one of three types: System (Sys), Group (Grp) or User (Usr). System level options should be those that are stable across 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.
4.1Typical 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 Sys categories:
•License Option
•Network Config
•IP Addressing
•ESSID
•Security
•IP Office Flag
Typical Group file settings:
If certain groups of people require different access to functions, such as PTT, these options would be stored as Group files. Several different Group files can be established and the handsets can be configured by group. Typical Grp categories are:
•
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 Usr categories are:
•Extension
•Static IP address
•Ring Options
•Phone Options
such as security or ESSID. These settings can be moved to a Group file or you may set up two System files.You may have zones in your facility that require different System settings,
