The purpose of the Deployment Tool is to allow the administrator to remotely configure optiPoint IP phones en-mass.
The primary occasion when this will be done is when a set of new devices
is deployed for the first time. However, the tool may be used at any other
time as a means of configuring a group of phones with a consistent set of
data.
In general the Deployment Tool works on the principal that the same configuration is delivered to each device, with the exception of the terminal
number (E.164 address). Every addressed device is assigned a separate
terminal number.

You must identify the phones you want to configure in the Deployment
Tool before you can proceed with configuration. A scan function searches
the network and creates a list of devices found. You can scan for an IP
phone on the basis of its IP address or you can scan an IP address range
for optiPoint phones.
When you activate the Deployment Tool, a blank Device List appears if you
have not already saved a deployment file.
If the Deployment Tool opens with the last deployment file saved, you can
create a new deployment file by selecting New from the Edit menu on the
menu bar or by entering CTRL+N. You can also load a specific deployment
fileÆ page 16.

Creating a Device List
Before searching for optiPoint phones, you must specify the IP addresses
in the Add Devices mask.
Call with
• Add from the Edit menu on the menu bar or
•CTRL+A or
•the Add devices icon on the toolbar (Æ page 9)
The following dialog appears:
Click the required dialog option, either Add a single device or Add a range of devices. Enter an IP address or an IP address range which you
want to scan for devices. Confirm you input with Add.
Overlapping ranges are not permitted. However, you can enter an IP
address as an address range, for example
192.168.1.105 to 192.168.1.105.
A table is displayed in the Device_List window.
Close the Add Devices dialog with Quit if you do not want to add any
more IP addresses.

Specifying the Number of Scans
You can specify the number of scans for a LAN-based scan or mark the
scan as continuous. Select the required option under Scan parameters.
You can select the maximum number of scans in the drop-down list or select "Continuous" for non-stop scanning.
There are two reasons for entering multiple scans:
1. An optiPoint is not fully installed or is in "Local mode" and is therefore
unable to answer while the scan is in progress.
2. The scan process uses the UDP protocol that does not guarantee to
forward the solicitation message or deliver a reply. Under these circumstances, multiple scans are more effective in certain network environments.
Hiding List Columns
You can hide and display columns before or after the scan. Click the View
drop-down menu on the menu bar and select or deselect the required option.
The MAC address option is not selected in this example so the column is
hidden.

Editing a Configuration
Call up the configuration of the selected optiPoint type. Before you can enter a value in a field in the Setting column, you must mark the matching
option in the Parameter column. Values entered in the Setting column are
not sent to the devices if you did not mark the matching option in the Pa-rameter column.
Switch to a different tab by clicking the required tab header. For information
on the tabs and parameters that you can process for a device type, see the
section on optiPoint types Æ page 27 and the section on Ta b s Æ page 36.
Example:
Confirm the dialog with OK after entering the necessary parameter values
for this device type in all tabs (Æ page 27).
Alternatively, you can use
• Reset all to delete all values in the Setting column and at the same
time remove all markings in the Parameter column.
(Reset all applies to all tabs).
• Or quit the dialog with Cancel without applying the settings.
20
Configuration
Reset and delete actions do not effect the phone and are only performed locally on the computer.
Entries in the dialog only take effect when the data is sent to the devices.
Saving settings
Save your settings with Save or Save as... before you send the configuration to the devices.
Save with
• Save from the File menu on the menu bar to save the file under the
current name or
•the Save icon on the tool bar (Æ page 9) or
• CTRL+S or
• Save as from the File menu on the menu bar to save the file under a
new name or
•the F12 function key.
Depending on the terminal type, data from the "Operations Configuration" page (all directories) is included when you perform a save.
For example, if you entered "anonymous" under "FTP username" for
optiPoint 410 Standard, "test" may appear under optiPoint 410 eco.
You can consequently create a deployment file .dep for different terminal types.
