Changing endpoint parameters globally

Last Updated : Dec 10, 2015 |

About this task

Use the Global Endpoint Change capability to edit endpoint properties in bulk across one or more Communication Manager systems.

You can change the endpoint properties manually or change the endpoint properties based on a default template. You can select your preferred default template from the Template Name list on the General Options tab. When you select your preferred default template, the system overwrites the field values in different property tabs, such as General Options, Feature Options, and Button Assignment, with values in the default template. You can modify the endpoint properties of the default template to meet your requirement. The customization does not impact the default template because the system applies the changes only to the listed extensions.

For example, you can find all buttons or features with a specific assign and change the parameters for all those buttons or features respectively, locate new buttons without overwrite, and change the set type of many endpoints simultaneously as you move from digital to IP or SIP.

Procedure

  1. On the System Manager web console, click Elements > Communication Manager.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Endpoints > Manage Endpoints.
  3. On the Endpoints page, select the endpoints from the list for which you want to change the parameters.
  4. Select one or more Communication Manager instance from the Communication Manager list.
  5. Click Show List.
  6. Select one or more endpoints, click More Actions > Global Endpoint Change.

    The system displays the Endpoint Changes page.

  7. Click the General Options tab, and select Set Type to update the template.
    Note:

    If you also change the Set Type while updating the station, the default value overwrites the value in the Port field. The options for the default values are X and IP. Therefore, you must manually change the Port value for each station.

  8. On the Endpoint Changes page, set the error configuration option in Select Error Configuration. The options are:

    • Continue processing other records: When you select this option, the system skips the erroneous record and continues to process the other records. This is the default setting.

    • Abort on first error: When you select this option, the system aborts the importing process on encountering the first error.

  9. Do one of the following:

    • Modify the fields in each of the tabs as required.

    • In the General Options tab, select your preferred default template from the Template Name field, and update the property fields as required.

      The system overwrites all the field values with the values in the template. This update does not affect the default template because the system applies the changes only to the listed extensions.

  10. Do one of the following:

    • To change the endpoint parameters immediately, click Commit.

    • To change the endpoint parameters at a specified time, click Schedule.

    The system updates the selected endpoints or schedules the edit job to the specified time.
