Programming telephone sets: Desktop Assistant portfolio

Element Manager supports the programming of button functions for the digital and IP telephone sets. Use the Desktop Assistant family of products to customize button programming and to generate labels for telephone sets. Download the Desktop Assistant family of applications (including the LAN CTE Client) from the BCM web page. The application interface includes documentation for these applications.

The Desktop Assistant family of products consists of:

Desktop Assistant

Desktop Assistant Pro

Desktop Assistant Pro AE (Administrator Edition)

Note: To run Desktop Assistant Pro AE, the LAN CTE Client must be running.

Table 6 lists a comparison of the main features of each application.

The Desktop Assistant Pro AE is the administrator tool. It requires the user to log onto the BCM using the BCM security system for authentication. It provides features that the Element Manager does not currently have — designing and printing labels, saving a definition for a set, and applying that definition to another set. This application allows users to program the keys on a set, and then print the corresponding labels. The application also allows access to all the sets on the system.
