Configuring Type of
Service
When you create a phone extension, you assign the extension to a phone
profile (see Managing P
hone Extensions). A phone profile includes a set
of common phone attributes, including a Type of Service (ToS). A Type of
Service (ToS) determines what phone features are available to a user.
A ToS is comprised of a set of phone features. For example, these features
include options that allow you or the user to configure call forwarding or
personal speed dialing. A ToS allows you to bundle common phone
feature configurations into one Type of Service and assign that ToS to a
phone profile. This allows you to configure default phone settings for a
range of extensions.
Each ToS also includes a default button mapping template for the 3Com
Business telephones (Models 3102 and 2102) and Manager’s telephone
(Model 3103). Each template specifies a set of default features mapped
to configurable buttons on each phone model. You can modify the
existing templates or create your own. See Mapping
Features to
Telephone Buttons for more information.
The configured Type of Service names are added to a drop-down menu
when you configure a phone profile (see Managing P
hone Extensions).
If you modify the ToS assigned (through a phone profile) to a set of
phone extensions, VCX software compares the features of the old ToS
with the features of the new ToS.
If the new ToS includes a feature that was configured in the old ToS,
configuration information is retained. For example, users will not lose
configured personal speed dial numbers as long as the new ToS
includes the speed dial feature.
Features that are in the new ToS but not in the old ToS must, of
course, be configured.
