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-talk

settings

(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
