5.1.7.5 Switch to Standard Mode (Default)
IP Office Essential Edition - Norstar Version is the default mode assumed by a IP500v2 control unit fitted with an IP Office
Norstar System SD card.
This option will change the operating mode of the configuration loading in Manager to that of a IP Office Standard Version
system. Manager will automatically switch to its advanced view mode. When the configuration is sent back to the IP Office
system, the system will restart in IP Office Standard Version mode.

method for installation of a new installation or for when a IP Office Standard Version system has been defaulted and needs
to be returned to IP Office Standard Version operation.
· If this is an existing system, it is recommended that you first use Manager to receives and save a copy of the
current configuration locally using Save Configuration As 135 .
· In order to use this command, the system's password must be defaulted. To do this, load the configuration from
the system and select Remote/Administrator Password 46 . Set the password back to the default of password.

(currently IP500 ETR6 base cards for ETR phones). The system may not restart correctly if that is the case.

found, load its configuration. If this cannot be done using the default password (password) it may not be possible to
complete the process.
