Prolog information
The Communication Manager Endpoint Administration has some new attributes for CS 1000 endpoints behind the station administration screens. The following example is based on the Set Type: CS1k-39xx and the General Options (G) setting for the set as 3905:
CS 1000 Endpoint Type
Two important pull-down values on the preceding System Manager screen provide the ability to tailor a station definition to the hardware.
  • Number of Expansion Module Pages – “Button Module Pages”. This allows the administrator to determine how many expansion modules are attached to the station. When this is non-zero, one or more of the subsequent button module “pages” can be programmed. If the “pages” value is set to 1, then only the first module can be administered.
  • Number of Keys/Buttons per Page – “Buttons per Page”. This allows setting the pages for the correct module type for any endpoint with two different expansion modules. For example, the 12xx stations can use a 12 or an 18-button expansion module.
Note that the values of the buttons per page and number of pages can be confusing. The underlying logic can be obscure.
