Introduction
This guide introduces the requirements for provisioning the Spectralink 84-Series Wireless
Telephones
using Spectralink’s Configuration Management System.
How does CMS Facilitate Deployment?
The Spectralink 84-Series handset is a powerful device with thousands of possible settings.
Spectralink’s Configuration Management System provides a GUI interface so that you can
configure only the settings you need for your deployment. Then the GUI allows you to manage
the phones easily by providing information about deployment, usage, locations, battery usage,
etc
However, CMS cannot provide every possible parameter and so it provides a Custom Settings
page to allow you to refine the deployment with your own xml files for a highly customized
installation.
