When the IP500 V2 containing a IP Office A-Law SD card is first started, it will boot-up as "Basic Edition", which has the same look and feel as Norstar Mode, e.g.: out of the box operations, two intercom buttons, key system functionality, voice mailboxes on all telephones, TUI programming support, etc. "Basic Edition" makes starting and using the system quick and easy.
Users who need full IP Office Essential Edition functionality can apply the Essential edition license and the use Manager to change mode from "Basic Edition" to "Essential Edition". Once the system reboots, it re-starts as "Essential Edition."
System Programming
System programming is accomplished in two ways:
· Telephone User Interface (TUI) from extension 10 or extension 11; and uses the same
administration codes as the Norstar system.
· Web Manager (GUI) – IP Office Web Manager is a new browser based management tool (replacing Simplified Manager) designed to simplify the installation and maintenance process by providing an intuitive and user-friendly management tool that runs on most standard browsers. The new IP Office Web Manager eliminates the need to have windows operating system as it can run on any device that supports standard browsers.
