Managing stations
Adding stations
The list appears line cards for station TN assignment. If Hardware Validation is active,
then the TN added to each set is validated against the TN card type. The cards defined
under the hardware view are also used for automatic TN assignment.
The Reserved Units dialog box is accessed through the Hardware Configuration dialog
box. Click Reserved Units.
You can add one or more stations, adding each station individually or with a Station
template. Once added, you can also delete the stations, swap TNs between telephones,
or add a customized Station template to Station Administration.
Using a Station template, you can define multiple stations that have data in common.
Only information for the Location field value is required for identification in the list and
by the Station Administration module. A template can contain all or part of a station
definition are changed in the same way as stations defined individually. You can change
template data in exactly the same way as station data.
You can add new stations to the list in the Station Administration view, use a template
that defines data for the station or stations that you are adding, or add each station
individually.
IMPORTANT!
If OTM is in Maintenance mode, you are prompted to schedule communication with
systems when adding new stations. You can synchronize the system data now, schedule a
time for synchronization, or cancel the prompt and schedule synchronization later. See
“Enabling communications: synchronizing” on page 454.
