Creating Your Configuration Plan

Although not necessary for using the Config Cradle program, a configuration plan can maximize its efficiency and save countless hours of handset option management.

Organize the plan

Determine which options should be categorized as each type –

System, Group or User.

Do not create a plan that saves an option in two different categories. Option categories should be established and should not overlap. Example: Speakerphone and Push-to-talksettings (SpectraLink i640 handset only) are typically tagged as Grp options and saved as Group files.

Create the options and save the settings

Once you have established which options will be categorized as System, Group or User, enter the configuration information into the Editable settings fields.

Start with the System options and enter all system-level field values, such as IP addresses, security, and reg domain. Click the Sys radio button on the left side of the window for each option. Save these settings as a System file by entering a descriptive filename in the System filename field and clicking Save. See the example below.

Note that when a setting is changed, the option label is highlighted in yellow until it is saved.

In the same way, create each Group plan by entering the values in the fields designated as Group types. Click the Grp radio button on the left side of the window for each option. Save each plan under a different name in the Group filename field. You may have several groups – possibly divided by sets of PTT users.

It is recommended that you establish one generic User file that has the default (or desired) values for each User field. Click the Usr radio
