344 CHAPTER 7: OPERATIONS
Third-Party Drivers You can add and configure third-party telephones for use on an NBX
system. The third-party vendor supplies the interface hardware and a
software package to support the telephones.
The process of adding third-party telephones has these steps:
■Install the device type license — Each third-party device type
(typically a telephone) must be licensed for use on the NBX system.
The license governs the type of device and the number of devices of
that type that can be added to the NBX system.
■Installing the software driver — This step places the third-party
driver software on the NBX system disk.
■Importing — This step activates the third-party driver software.
See the Help for instructions on these procedures.
NBX Software
Upgrades
When you upgrade the NBX system software, you do not need to reinstall
and import the third-party drivers, provided that you continue to use the
same NBX database after the upgrade.
If you upgrade the NBX system software and choose to start with a new
database, or if you revert to a database that did not include the
third-party driver, you must import the third-party driver again.
Third-Party
Telephone Groups
When you install and import a third-party driver, a new telephone group
is created for the third-party telephone type. When you add third-party
telephones to the NBX system, by default they are added to this group.
You cannot delete the default third-party telephone group.
A third-party telephone can belong to the default third-party telephone
group, or to a telephone group that you create for that third-party
telephone.
