Handset Configuration Steps Overview
To use Handset Configuration Over The Air, the following steps are necessary:
1. Make a plan defining:
l
Needed Configuration Groups (Group ID must be unique) and Version number:
Max number of configuration groups allowed: 99
Accepted values for Group ID: 1 - 9999
Accepted values for Version number: 1 - 9999
l
Which Handset Configuration settings each configuration group must contain.
Different settings can be e.g. noisy environment for one group, HAC for another group or
access to External Services for a third group etc.
l
If settings are to be hidden to the user in the handset menu. A setting can be defined with a
certain value in the Handset Configuration XML file, and then defined as hidden in the hand-
set menu.
2. Create a Handset Configuration XML file by exporting existing handset configuration from a
handset, make the relevant changes, and then save it.
Tip:
It is advisable to start with one handset and configure it as desired - this can then
serve as a template for the rest of the users in the configuration group.
For more information, see
"Creating a Handset Configuration XML File" on the next page
.
3. Assign relevant Configuration Group (Group ID) to each user.
For more information, see
"Assigning Configuration Groups (Group IDs) to Users" on
.
4. Upload the Handset Configuration XML file.
For more information, see
"Uploading or Updating the Handset Configuration XML File" on
.
5. Handset Configuration XML files can also be uploaded through provisioning. If so, create a
.ver file to upload/update handset configuration.
The .ver file contains information about available Handset Configuration XML files to be pro-
visioned into the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server, including information about
the version number.
For more information, see
"Creating a .Ver File if Using Provisioning" on page 238
