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
