Create the Batch
Configuration File
Admin Tip: Spectralink 84-Series configuration settings
Please see the
Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Telephone Administration Guide
for
specific configuration parameters and guidelines. The below instructions provide
general instructions for batch deployment.
Listing Handsets/Users for Batch Deployment
CMS uses a batch deployment system to import any number of phones into the server. Only a
few parameters are required to successfully import and provision phones for basic telephony.
Admin Tip: The batch file configures settings for registration (line) 1
The batch file allows you to set up multiple phones at once. Once phones associate
with CMS and are accepted into the Device list they can heartbeat into CMS and
download batch file settings. At this point, phones can register with the call server
and make and receive calls on line 1.
Setting up the batch file
1
Obtain the .csv template from Spectralink service. Upload the .csv file used for batch
configuration.
Caution: Do not change .csv file columns
Do not change any fields or column headings in the .csv file. All cells must be
completed for each entry. Save the file as a .csv file with an appropriate name in a
convenient location.
2
Unpack each phone and enter its MAC address in the .csv file. The MAC address is a
unique identifier found on the label inside the battery compartment of each handset that
follows the convention 00.90.7A.xx.yy.xx. The last three sets of numbers and letters are
unique for each phone.
