Configure the Network from the Phone
The phone includes many configurable network settings that you may need to modify before it is functional
for your users. You can access these setting through the phone menus.
The Network configuration menu provides you with options to view and configure a variety of network
settings.
You can control whether a phone has access to the Settings menu or to options on this menu by modifying
the value in the Phone-UI-User-Mode field in the
Voice > System > System Configuration section of
the Phone Configuration Utility page. Also, you must modify the attribute of ua in the Resync file of the
phone to control the access. For example, when Phone-UI_User_mode is set to Yes and in the resync file
the attribute for Speed_Dial_2 are:
Note
• Speed_Dial_2 ua="rw", you can read and write on web of user model and lcd.
• Speed_Dial_2 ua="na", you can only read on web of user model and lcd.
The Phone-UI-User-Mode field accepts these values:
• Yes: Allows access to the Settings menu. It also allows access to the Phone Configuration Utility
page for user-mode.
• No: Prevents access to the Settings menu. It also restricts access to the Phone Configuration Utility
page for user-mode.
If you cannot access an option on the Admin Settings menu, check the Phone-UI-User-Mode field.
You can configure settings that are display-only on the phone in your Third-Party Call Control system.
