Administrator Guide
4. Planning the Configuration Files
Each configurable option may be categorized as one of three types: System ( Sys ),
Group ( Grp ) or User ( Usr ). System level options should be those that are stable across
the entire system. DHCP vs. Static IP addressing would be an example of a System
option. Options that are designated as Group type should be those that change by
category of user. PTT Allow/Disallow and PTT Channel are examples. A unique
extension number is assigned to each handset by the system administrator and would
be a User type. The remaining User types should be reserved for options that are
normally set by the end user. For Standby menu options such as Ring Type and
Noise Mode, default values may be entered with the expectation that the user may
change them.
4.1 Typical configuration plans
Because the specific options that are available depend on the software version and
License Option, the typical plan options for your facility may be different than those
listed here.
Typical System file settings:
System file settings typically do not change across an installation. These are typical
Sys categories:
• License Option
• Network Config
• IP Addressing
• ESSID
• Security
• IP Office Flag
Typical Group file settings:
If certain groups of people require different access to functions, such as PTT, these
options would be stored as Group files. Several different Group files can be
established and the handsets can be configured by group. Typical
Grp categories are:
• Push-to-talk options on both Admin and Standby menus
Typical User file settings:
If a setting can be changed by the user in the Standby menu, then it would typically
be stored in a User file. These can be the default settings or whatever your system
requires. Typical
Usr categories are:
• Extension
• Static IP address
• Ring Options
• Phone Options

You may have zones in your facility that require different System settings,
such as security or ESSID. These settings can be moved to a Group file or
you may set up two System files.
