11.3.3 Add Preference Group Options to Templates
A Handset Template is a combination of a Programmable Function Key (PFK) setup and
Handset Preference Group options. When adding a new phone, the system
automatically applies the “Active” Handset Template for its model (9212, 9224, etc.).
To incorporate a Handset Preference Group into a new Handset Template:
1. Log in to the Allworx server admin page, navigate to Phone System > Handsets,
and locate the SIP Handset section.
2. Locate the handset and user, and click the View Configuration link.
3. Locate the Programmable Functions Keys section, click the Modify link to
configure the PFKs, and click Update.
4. Click Save in the Template Options section, enter a new name in the description
field, and click OK. See “Handset Templates” on page 88. for more information on
creating and using Handset Templates.
11.3.4 Assign Handsets to Handset Preference Groups
The Allworx Server Administrator can assign Handsets to Handset Preference Groups in
several different ways. When adding new handsets, they are automatically assigned to
the Handset Preference Group in the active Handset Template. Therefore, if the factory
default phone options are not appropriate for the site, save time by creating a custom
Handset Preference Group and incorporate it into a new Active phone template before
adding the site handsets.
When using the Bulk Edit controls on the Handsets page, assign multiple handsets to
Handset Preference Groups at once:
Visual
