After a successful connection to the PBX, the configuration part of the application is displayed. The main menu of this view is shown in figure below and contains the following options:

  • Administrator 
    • Logout PBX – log out the configuration tool from the PBX and return to the previous menu for another connection as described above.
    • Connect/Disconnect – use these options off-line to connect/disconnect the configuration tool to/from the PBX.

Windows

On the left-hand side of the configuration tool you can find the TreeView where you can choose a menu item to be configured. The selected menu then opens on the right-hand side and is mostly divided into two subwindows; one for selecting and the other for configuring an object. The configuration is divided into tabs for easier orientation. All the above mentioned windows are shown in the figure below.

The Trace and Database sections situated in the lower part of the screen above the status bar are important configuration tool components. Trace helps you monitor calls and analyse configuration errors if any. Database provides a direct view of the data stored (depending on the connection mode). We strongly recommend that you should not change the data in this view if you do not know how! This menu tab is governed by the read & write rights assigned to each login.

Status Bar

The status bar is a lower task bar in the configuration tool. It provides two important pieces of information. The first one is the connection mode, which is either on-line or off-line. The other is the connected PBX name, which includes the PBX and connection data separated with a dash.
