Device Settings
Device settings are settings that pertain to a single user such as user names, passwords and
identifiers. Several Device settings are configured in the Batch file and sent to the phones as
soon as they register with the CMS server.
The unique aspect to Device settings is that they override both Group and Enterprise settings.
They are configured on the specific handset(s) that has been selected from the Device List.
Therefore, only those settings that pertain to specific handsets should be configured at the
device level. Typically, the only settings that are configured at the device level would be SIP
extension settings or other user-specific parameters within phone features.
When a device is selected in the Device List and the Change config option is chosen, each
configured (non-default) setting displays a set of icons on the right side of the page. These icons
provide editing opportunities and indicate the level where the value has been set -- Enterprise,
Group or Device. Note that some settings do not support the level icons.
Example
Level icons
Enterprise: This setting is configured at the Enterprise level. Click the checkbox to
clear the setting.
Group: This setting is configured at the Group level. Click the checkbox to clear the
setting.
When an Enterprise or Group setting has been cleared, the Device icon appears
with a redo icon. Use redo to restore the cleared Enterprise or Group value.
Since we are at the Device level, only editing icons appear next to fields that have
been set at the Device level. Clicking the trash can icon clears the field. If cleared,
the setting will revert to the Group level if it has been set or to the Enterprise level if
no Group level exists. If no Enterprise level has been set, the parameter will revert
to the default.
Example
Let’s say you want to zero in on a particular handset that is behaving strangely. You can set that
handset to log at an Info level with an appropriate filter while all the other handsets remain at a
Warning level. This gives you a close-up of just one device without the unnecessary syslog
traffic that would occur if all devices were set to the Info level.
