VDP650 Configuration Methods
You can configure the VDP650 using one of the following methods:
From the VDP651 handset, using the handset menus. The VDP651 menus are
best suited to configuring a few settings, perhaps after the initial setup has been
done. For administrators, the settings available on the VDP651 menus include
network settings, account settings, and provisioning settings. See
Admin Settings Menu” on page 23
. Many of the settings accessible on the VDP651
are most useful for end users. Through the menu, they can customize the screen
appearance, sounds, and manage calls. For more information, see the
VDP650/VDP651 User Guide.
The Web User Interface, or WebUI, which you access using your Internet browser.
See
. The browser-based interface is easy to
navigate and best suited to configuring a large number of VDP650 settings at once.
The WebUI gives you access to every setting required for configuring a single
device. You can enter service provider account settings on the WebUI, assign
accounts to handsets, and set up provisioning, which will allow you to automatically
and remotely update the VDP650 after initial configuration.
Provisioning using configuration files. Working with configuration files allows you to
configure the device at regular intervals. There are several methods available to
enable the VDP650 to locate and upload the configuration file. For example, you
can enable the VDP650, when it starts up or reboots, to check for the presence of
a configuration file on a provisioning server. If the configuration file is new or has
been modified in any way, the VDP650 automatically downloads the file and
applies the new settings. For more information, see
Configuration Files” on page 106
