6. Creating Your Configuration Plan
When first setting up a configuration plan you will enter information into the
Editable
settings
fields, indicate which of the three categories each option belongs to, and save
as
System
,
Group
or
User
files.
Do not create a plan that saves an option in two different categories. Option
categories should be established and should not overlap. Example: PTT
settings are typically tagged as
Grp
options and saved in
Group
files.
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. Click the
Sys
category
button on the left side of the window for each option. Save these settings as a
System file by entering the filename in the
System
filename field and clicking
Save
.
Note that when a setting is changed, it 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
category button on the left side of the
window for each option. Save each plan under a different name in the
Group
filename
field.
Create one basic
User
file for default (or desired) values for each
User
field. Click the
Usr
category button on the left side of the window for each option.
User settings don’t necessarily need to be saved for each handset, but they can be
saved, if desired. It may be useful, for example, to save a user’s ring preferences from
a handset being replaced so that the new handset can be configured up the same
way. If you determine that each handset configuration should be saved, it is easiest to
do this during the configuration process. See Downloading a configuration plan to a
handset below.
