Multiple Phone Update
For GTL telephones and for Type B telephones, the Multiple Phone Update allows specific configuration
parameters to be updated or changed, and applied to multiple telephones. The Multiple Phone Update
Wizard is a guide through the configuration update process.
Although phone records are selected together during the Multiple Phone Update process, each telephone
is programmed individually. When the Multiple Phone Update Wizard is complete, the telephones are
not logically associated with one another in any way. TMA waits until the specified maintenance (poll)
period to perform all configuration updates to each selected telephone.
The wizard generates a queue of reprogramming operations to be performed at the selected telephones
during the specified maintenance period. There is only one queue for each telephone and through
configurations in the Multiple Phone Update Wizard, all pending reprogramming is overwritten by the
changes made in the wizard. Any previously scheduled reprogramming by a “Synchronize Later” is lost.
This occurs on a telephone-by-telephone basis and only telephones with pending reprogramming at the
execution of the Multiple Phone Update Wizard are affected.
For best results, allow any pending reprogramming on telephone(s) to occur before scheduling the same
phone(s) for more reprogramming through the Multiple Update Phone Wizard or otherwise.
Multiple Phone Update Wizard
All phone records selected for a multiple update must be the same type. If updates are to be performed on
different types of telephones, the wizard must be executed for each telephone type since the telephone(s)
have different configurable parameters retained in memory. Only valid fields are displayed for a specific
phone record type based on the security account for read/write access.
All programmable fields throughout the wizard are blank by default to denote no change in the
telephone’s configuration. Any data entered during this process is interpreted as a change to be made at
the specified maintenance period.
To enter the Multiple Phone Update Wizard, select multiple phone records in the list view and right click
on the selected phone records. A pop-up menu will appear, as shown on the next page.
