DATABASE
The Edit group of operations allows you to add to, change, or delete information in the GTI Configurator user database.
Management of this information is divided into the following three operations:
System config - One System Configuration record is required for each system. Until user-configured values are uploaded
to the system (see the DATABASE TRANSFERS heading later in this section), the GTI units in the system will use
default values programmed into their firmware at the factory. When user-configured values are uploaded to the
system, they will be retained in each GTI unit’s battery-backed RAM until the GTI Configurator uploads new values,
the battery runs down, or the GTI Configurator instructs the GTI units to cycle through a Hard Reset. (Loss of AC
power will not cause a loss of user configured values.)
Telco config - One Telco Configuration record is required for each GTI unit that is connected to a telephone line. Until
user-configured values are uploaded to the system (see the DATABASE TRANSFERS heading later in this section),
the GTI units in the system will use default values programmed into their firmware at the factory. When user-
configured values are uploaded to the system, they will be retained in each GTI unit’s battery-backed RAM until the
GTI Configurator uploads new values, the battery runs down, or the GTI Configurator instructs the GTI units to
cycle through a Hard Reset. (Loss of AC power will not cause a loss of user configured values.) Each GTI unit uses
only the values that apply to that specific GTI unit number (set by DIP switch SW2 on the GTI unit). If the telephone
line type information in the Telco Configuration file does not agree with the telephone line type set by DIP switch
SW1 on the GTI unit, the GTI unit will use the DIP switch information.
DID numbers - One DID Numbers record is required for each system using DID telephone lines. Until user-configured
values are uploaded to the system (see the DATABASE TRANSFERS heading later in this section), the GTI units in
the system will not respond to DID calls. When user-configured values are uploaded to the system, they will be
retained in each GTI unit’s battery-backed RAM until the GTI Configurator uploads new values, the battery runs
down, or the GTI Configurator instructs the GTI units to cycle through a Hard Reset. (Loss of AC power will not
cause a loss of user configured values.)
This section describes the information managed by each of these three operations under the SYSTEM INFORMATION,
TELCO INFORMATION, and DID USER INFORMATION headings, followed by the procedure to upload the information
to the system under the DATABASE TRANSFERS heading.
SYSTEM INFORMATION
System information is information common to all of the system. To edit system information, select the System config
operation from the Edit group in the Main Menu screen, and press the Enter key. The next screen you will see is the System
Configuration screen. A sample System Configuration screen is shown in Figure 32.
If no system number is shown in the INDEX window, no system has been configured yet in the database, and the cursor will
be positioned in the System Number field in the SYSTEM_CONFIG window. If you are configuring a system for the first
time, the user data fields will be filled with default values. Type the desired user data into each field and press the Enter key to
advance to the next field. When the cursor is positioned in a field followed by three dots, pressing the Enter key may advance
the cursor to a pop-up window with additional related fields (not all entries may cause the window to pop-up.) A pop-up
window is sometimes used to help you select a valid entry for a field (a HELP window message will direct you to this type of
pop-up window when it is available). When you have finished with the record for the first system you must save the record by
pressing the F10 key. To start a record for a second system, press the F9 key and repeat the process. To delete a record, press
the F7 key. To see other options, press the F1 key.
