1 Configure a device format.

Ensure that you have a Device Format for this type of DECT

handset. For information about configuring device formats,

refer to

Browse to Groups and Devices > Device Format. If your

DECT Handset is configured under Device Format on the

eConfig module, your DECT handset type is shown beside the

eDMSAPI output program.

2 Add new Device.

Within Groups and Devices, right click All Devices, and choose

New Device.

3 Configure the new device.

Make the following configuration changes:

• Select eDMSAPI as the Output program.

• For Device ID, enter either:

Board_Number#Index_Number if you are configuring

traditional DECT handsets

a DN if you are configuring SIP DECT handsets.

Example: For a DMC Card in Slot 4 of an Option 11c

Cabinet, and a DECT handset subscribed to index 2, the

Device ID is 04#02.
