BCM50 Telset Administration Guide
Using the telset configuration interface
This section provides maps of the telset configuration menus. The telset configuration is a tool that
is used for system configuration if there is no network connection to your BCM50, or for quick
configuration changes, such as changing features in a DN record or updating one of the speed dial
lists.
Although these menus have most of the features found in the Element Manager user interface, they
are not necessarily in the same location. The goal of this section is to help you quickly locate
feature programming within the telset configuration menus.
Programming with the telset telephony interface
When your system is installed, your installer, or customer service representative, programs it to
work with your telephone lines, with your private network if you have one, and with optional
equipment. In some cases, they also can provide customization for your specific office
requirements. If your system is connected to an IP network, the Element Manager interface
provides the most complete access for system programming and any post-installation adjustments
you may want to make.
However, if your system is not connected to an IP network, or if your system administrators do not
have access to a computer with the Element Manager installed, you can use the telset configuration
interface to program or customize your system setttings.
Some settings will need to be updated regularly, because of staff requirements or new business
contacts, and it is sometimes easier to make quick changes through this menu rather than through
the Element Manager.
There are four ways to use the teleset configuration interface to customize and maintain your
BCM50 system:
Initial programming is performed for you by your installer or customer service representative.
This establishes how the system interacts with lines, telephones, and other equipment. The
user who performs the initial programming also has access to the FEATURE 9*8 telset
configuration menu, which allows access to system administration features.
Post-installation programming, for example to change how features work for the system, is
performed by a user assigned as a system coordinator.
Post-installation programming for basic configuration changes can be provided to the telset
user without exposing the more sensitive programming areas. For example:
set user information (FEATURE **user (FEATURE **8737))
set the Q and Z on the dialpad (FEATURE **dialpad (FEATURE **3425723))
Note: For telset admininstration for CallPilot Vmail via F983, see the
Call Pilot Telephone Administration Guide (NN40090-500).
