2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 Starting Maintenance Console and Software Modes

Every time Maintenance Console is started, a dialog box will appear. From here, you can enter any of the 2 available software modes.
Batch mode
Batch mode allows you to create new system data files, and make modifications to system data files stored on your PC, without being connected to the PBX. When you connect to the PBX, the modified data will be uploaded at one time.
Interactive mode
Interactive mode allows you to directly modify the system data and settings stored in the PBX's memory from a PC that is connected to the PBX. This mode displays the system data that is currently being used by the PBX, rather than the system data stored on the SD memory card. Data can be modified and results displayed in real time.

To start Maintenance Console in Batch mode

1. Enter the relevant programmer code.
2. Click OK.
The start menu will appear.
3. Select an option.
Select New to create a new system data file.
Select Open to open an existing system data file.

To start Maintenance Console in Interactive mode

1. Enter the relevant programmer code.
2. Click OK.
The start menu will appear.
3. Click Connect.
Connection options will be displayed.
Select a Profile Name if you want to use a pre-saved profile. This option is only available when one or more profiles have been previously stored.
a. Select the profile to use from the drop-down list.
b. If the system password for the PBX has not been stored with the profile, enter it.
If the system password has been stored with the selected profile, it does not need to be entered.
To enter the parameters manually, select the PBX Model and select the method of connecting to the PBX.
a. Specify the settings as required. For more details, see the tables below.
b. Enter the system password for the PBX.
4. Click Connect.
Maintenance Console will start, and automatically connect to the PBX. If this is the first time that Maintenance Console has connected to the PBX, and the date and time of the PBX have not yet been set, the Quick Setup wizard will run. For more details, see Starting the Maintenance Console and Assigning the Basic Items (Quick Setup).

Item

User Level Programmer Code
0 – 16 characters
Administrator Level Programmer Code
4 – 16 characters
Installer Level Programmer Code

Access to menu options within the Maintenance Console is restricted depending on the Programmer Code, and the current software mode (see 2.1.1 Starting Maintenance Console and Software Modes). When a menu option is limited to certain access levels, this is noted in this manual in the initial description of that menu option, for example:
"This option is only available at Installer level."
If a sentence like this does not appear under the heading, the menu option is available at all levels.
The target users for each access level are as follows:

Access Level

User

User
For end users
Administrator
For system administrators
Installer
For dealers and system installers
The options available in each mode and access level are shown below.
The access levels are abbreviated as follows:

2.1.3 Software Interface

This section explains the functions of the various elements of the software interface.

Main Window

The window of the Maintenance Console software is divided into several areas, as shown below:
screenshot.gif

1. Menu Bar

Provides access to file management and connection options, as well as tools and utilities used in programming the PBX.
For details, see Sections 2.3 File to 2.7 Help.

2. Tool Bar

Provides easy access to commonly used software functions.
Two tool bars are provided, as follows:
File
Contains the icon for saving files. For details, see Section 2.3.2 File—Save.
Tools
Contains icons for backing up PBX data to the SD Memory Card, viewing extension information, and accessing Online Help. For details, see Sections 2.5.1 Tool—SD memory backup and 2.5.6 Tool—Extension List View.
These menus can be positioned freely. Click and drag the title bar of a menu to move it to another position. It will automatically snap in to position above, below, to the left, or to the right of the main window if released there. Otherwise, it will float separately from the main window.
Whether the tool bar is displayed or not can be chosen by selecting Toolbar from the View menu.

3. Tab Bar

The name of each screen currently open is displayed in a tab in this tab bar. When multiple screens are open at the same time, click on the tab of a screen to display the options associated with that screen.

4. System Menu

Provides access to the settings used for programming the PBX, grouped into 11 topics.
For details, see Sections 2.8 [1] Configuration to 2.18 [11] Maintenance.
To display the individual screens within a topic, click the topic heading. It will expand to show the sub-topics.
If a sub-topic contains more than one screen, clicking the name of the sub-topic will display the names of individual screens. Clicking an expanded sub-topic will hide the names of individual screens.

Double-click on a screen name to open that screen in 6. Main Screen below.
This menu can be positioned freely. Click and drag the title bar of the menu to move it to another position. It will automatically snap in to either the left side or right side of the main window if released there. Otherwise, it will float separately from the main window.
Whether the system menu is displayed or not can be chosen by selecting System Menu from the View menu.

5. Status Bar

The status bar displays information on the current state of the Maintenance Console.
Whether the status bar is displayed or not can be chosen by selecting Statusbar from the View menu.
The information displayed is as follows, in order from left to right:

Standard Buttons and Elements

There are several standard buttons that are displayed on many screens within the Maintenance Console.
The standard buttons are as follows:

Button

Function

OK
Implements changes and closes the current screen.
Cancel
Abandons changes and returns to the previous screen.

In addition, many screens within the software display a small open folder icon (foldericon1.gif) beside lists of setting items. Clicking this icon will collapse part of the list, allowing other items to be displayed. The icon will change to a closed folder (foldericon2.gif).
Clicking the closed folder icon will expand the list again.

2.1.4 Card Status

Certain tools, utilities and settings require that the target card be set to out-of-service (OUS) or in-service (INS) status before the operation is carried out. Where required, this is noted in the description of each item. Card status changes can only be performed when the software is in Interactive mode (see 2.1.1 Starting Maintenance Console and Software Modes).
"In service" means that the card is installed correctly in the PBX, and is capable of being used normally.
"Out of service" means that the card is installed correctly in the PBX, but has been temporarily removed from use. This allows settings to be modified or software to be upgraded.
"Fault" means that the card is not installed in the PBX correctly, or is not functioning correctly. For more information, see the Installation Manual.
For details about how to change the status of a card, see To change the status (INS/OUS) of a card (Interactive mode only) on screen 2.8.1 [1-1] Slot.

2.1.5 Display Options

The View and Window menus provide options to control the display of items within the Maintenance Console.
