The Location field indicates to which Call Server the Phone Module is registered. The Call Server is responsible for replicating relevant configuration information to the Phone Module. In turn the Phone Module will store in RAM configuration information relevant to its functionality.
The Phone Module will also pass back configuration changes, eg User configuration, to the Call Server.
The Flash LED button will instruct the Phone Module’s SpliceCom LED to flash. This feature is useful when multiple Phone Modules are being used on a system and will identify the physical Phone Module from its corresponding configuration form.
The Product Version field will display which version of software is currently running on the Phone Module. For information on upgrading this software please refer to page 186.
Each port on the Phone Module can now be configured independently, see page 53 for further details.
Extension Numbering
Once a Phone Module has registered with the system each port on the Phone Module, eg Port01, Port02 etc, will be automatically assigned to a User, eg Extn2001, Extn2002 etc, and given an extension number, eg 2001, 2002 etc. Each User can be amended to change this default configuration if required, see page 56 for further details.
On a reboot of the Phone Module each analogue handset will ring once to confirm
communication with system and display the number of new voicemail messages waiting for the User assigned to that phone (if voicemail enabled).
To change the extension number range automatically used when a Phone Module registers with a system, eg 6001-6030, the following steps can be taken:
1 Before the Phone Module is connected to the system create a new User with an extension number one before the start of the range required, eg 6000
2 Connect the Phone Module as described on page 27.
3 The new Users created will be given an extension number within the new extension number range, eg 6001-6030.
4 The User created in step 1 can be deleted if no longer required.
Setting the IP Address
When connecting a Phone Module to the system for the first time a DHCP server is required to give the Phone Module an IP address. This address can be viewed within the Phone Module’s configuration form as described on page 28. However once connected the Phone Module can be given a static address as follows:
1 Within the Command prompt enter
telnet ip address of Phone Module eg telnet 192.168.0.250
2 You will be prompted for a Username and Password. Enter diag and 7388 respectively.
3 Wait for a # to appear to confirm a connection has been made to the Phone Module 4 Enter setnet
5 The current configuration will be displayed. You will be asked if you wish to change any of this configuration.
6 Enter y
7 You will be asked how the IP address will be assigned.
8 Delete the d and enter s
9 Follow the onscreen prompts entering the IP address you wish to give the Phone Module, eg 192.168.0.50, the netmask you wish to use, eg 255.255.255.0 , the IP address of the Gateway (Default Router), eg 192.168.0.1 and the IP address of the TFTP server which will be the IP address of the Call Server to provide software to the Phone Module during an upgrade, eg 192.168.0.1.
10 At the following prompts make any changes you require otherwise press Enter to leave the option unchanged.
11 You will be asked if you wish to save the changes. Enter y.
12 Telnet will display that the changes are being saved and Done will appear once finished.
13 Enter poweroff and the Phone Module will reboot Please note:
- to return to using DHCP follow the same instructions above. Enter d when asked how the IP address will be assigned.
- at any prompt you may enter a ? for help on that option or q to quit.
- for further information on working with Telnet please refer to page 188.
- a list of each module’s IP address can be viewed in Manager by selecting System and then IP Addresses.
- Setnet can be used to set the Time Zone to be used by a specific Phone Module
