Administration telset interfaces

The information in this chapter applies to both the BCM50 and the BCM450 platforms running BCM 5.0.
You can use Business Element Manager or you can use the Telset interface to administer your BCM system. The telset configuration is a tool that is used for system configuration if there is no network connection to your BCM, or for quick configuration changes, such as changing features in a DN record or updating one of the speed dial lists. Administration telset interfaces are accessible only by a user with an Installer level of telset user privileges. These menus are used at initial startup or to make changes to security-sensitive system settings.
“Initial setup telset menus” on page 11
“Using FEATURE 9*8 for initial configuration” on page 12
Initial setup telset menus

The initial telset menus are used during the initial configuration of your system. The user requires Installer (Administrator) level of password to use these menus.
FEATURE **7763453
FEATURE **3425723
FEATURE **7827887
Figure 1 Menus for profiles and dialpad function for startup programming
(**PROFILE) should only be run at the initial set up if the Startup profile did
not properly set the country profile on your system and the Element Manager is not accessible to perform this task.
(**DIALPAD) allows you to change how the system receives Q and Z in
the telset interface.
(**STARTUP) should only be run at the initial set up if the Startup profile did
not set the telephony profile to the correct setting and the Element Manager is not accessible to perform this task. Using this interface returns your system to the default state
Telset Administration Guide
12 Chapter 2 Administration telset interfaces
Using FEATURE 9*8 for initial configuration
When you log in to the FEATURE 9*8 interface, it provides access to the following menus:
User Accounts: change user accounts and passwords. See “Activating user accounts and
changing passwords” on page 14
IP Address: view or set the IP network addressing. See Viewing or entering IP network
information on page 14
Modem: enable or disable the soft modem. See “System restart” on page 16
System Restart: restart your system. See “System restart” on page 16
Logging in to the F9*8 interface
An administration-level telset username and password are required to access this interface. Use the following user ID and password to access the FEATURE 9*8 feature:
User ID SETNNA (738662)
Password CONFIG (266344)
For more information about accessing the telset interfaces, and about which telephones can be used to access the interface, refer to “Using the telset configuration interface” on page 17. Note that this interface does not use the keypad directional arrows that are used for the telephony interface, but rather follows the conventions of the CallPilot F983 interface, which uses display prompts to navigate through the menus.

Chapter 2 Administration telset interfaces 13
When a user enters an incorrect password, the system provides a display indicating that there is an entry error. If the user tries repeatedly to enter an invalid username or password, the system locks the user account. The user can wait until the lockout timer releases the account, or the account can be released through this telset menu by a user with administration privileges or through the Element Manager by a user with administration privileges. The lockout timer and the lockout release can be configured in the Element Manager.

Activating user accounts and changing passwords
User Accounts provides two menus, one to create or delete user accounts and the other to enter new passwords for user accounts. The username and password can each be 16 digits in length.
Figure 3 shows the layout for User Accounts.

Viewing or entering IP network information
IP Address allows you to view IP network information on systems where DHCP is enabled. On systems where DHCP is disabled, you can enable DHCP or enter static IP network information.
Figure 4 shows the layout for IP Address.

Using the telset configuration interface

The information in this chapter applies to both the BCM50 and the BCM450 platforms running BCM 5.0.
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 BCM, 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.
Note: For telset administration for CallPilot Voicemail using F983, see the Call Pilot Telephone Administration Guide (NN40170-601).

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 settings.
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 telset configuration interface to customize and maintain your BCM 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.
