2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Starting Maintenance Console and Software Modes
Every time Maintenance Console is started, a dialogue box will appear. From here, you can enter any of the
2 available software modes.
•
Batch mode
Batch mode allows you to create new system data files, and make modifications to system data files stored
on your PC, without being connected to the PBX. When you connect to the PBX, the modified data will be
uploaded at one time.
•
Interactive mode
Interactive mode allows you to directly modify the system data and settings stored in the PBX’s memory
from a PC that is connected to the PBX. This mode displays the system data that is currently being used
by the PBX, rather than the system data stored on the SD memory card. Data can be modified and results
displayed in real time.
