Configuring the Phone
You can configure the phone using one of three methods:
From the phone itself, using the menus. The phone menus are best suited to
configuring a few settings, perhaps after the initial setup has been done. The
settings available on the Admin settings menu include network, account, and
provisioning settings. See Using the Admin Settings menu on page 20. Most of
the settings accessible on the phone itself are most useful for end users.
Through the menu, they can customize the screen appearance, sounds, and
manage calls. For more information, see the VSP735 Deskset User Guide.
The Web User Interface, or WebUI, which you access using your Internet
browser. See Using the WebUI on page 27. The browser-based interface is easy
to navigate and best-suited to configuring a large variety of phone settings.
The WebUI has every setting required for configuring a single phone. You can
enter service provider account settings on the WebUI, configure the
programmable keys, and set up provisioning, which will allow you to
automatically and remotely update the phone after initial configuration.
Provisioning using configuration files. Working with configuration files is the
best way to configure multiple phones. There are several methods available to
enable the phone to locate and upload the configuration file. For example, you
can enable the phone, 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 phone automatically downloads the file and
applies the new settings. For more information, see Provisioning Using
Configuration Files on page 85.
Adding a Custom Logo
You can upload a custom logo to be displayed on the phone idle screen and during
bootup. Uploading a logo is done using the configuration file. The parameters for
uploading a custom logo are described in Uploading a custom logo on page 13. The
default logo for bootup and idle mode is the vtech logo.
