6. Creating Your Configuration Plan

When first setting up a configuration plan you will enter information into the

Editable

settings

fields, indicate which of the three categories each option belongs to, and save

as

System

,

Group

or

User

files.



Do not create a plan that saves an option in two different categories. Option
categories should be established and should not overlap. Example: PTT
settings are typically tagged as

Grp

options and saved in

Group

files.

Once you have established which options will be categorized as System, Group or
User, enter the configuration information into the

Editable settings

fields. Start with

the System options and enter all system-level field values. Click the

Sys

category

button on the left side of the window for each option. Save these settings as a
System file by entering the filename in the

System

filename field and clicking

Save

.

Note that when a setting is changed, it is highlighted in yellow until it is saved.
In the same way, create each Group plan by entering the values in the fields
designated as Group types. Click the

Grp

category button on the left side of the

window for each option. Save each plan under a different name in the

Group

filename

field.
Create one basic

User

file for default (or desired) values for each

User

field. Click the

Usr

category button on the left side of the window for each option.

User settings don’t necessarily need to be saved for each handset, but they can be
saved, if desired. It may be useful, for example, to save a user’s ring preferences from
a handset being replaced so that the new handset can be configured up the same
way. If you determine that each handset configuration should be saved, it is easiest to
do this during the configuration process. See Downloading a configuration plan to a
handset
below.
