VCS754 Configuration Methods
You can configure the VCS754 using one of the following methods:
 From the VCS754 itself, using the menus. The VCS754 menus are best suited to
configuring a few settings, perhaps after the initial setup has been done. For
administrators, the settings available on the VCS754 menus include network
settings, account settings, and provisioning settings. See “Using the Admin
Settings Menu” on page 19. Most of the settings accessible on the VCS754 are
most useful for end users. Through the menu, they can customize the screen
appearance, sounds, and manage calls. For more information, see the VCS754
User Guide.
 The Web User Interface, or WebUI, which you access using your Internet browser.
See “Using the WebUI” on page 25. The browser-based interface is easy to
navigate and best-suited to configuring a large variety of VCS754 settings. The
WebUI has every setting required for configuring a single device. You can enter
service provider account settings on the WebUI, and set up provisioning, which will
allow you to automatically and remotely update the VCS754 after initial
configuration.
 Provisioning using configuration files. Working with configuration files allows you to
configure the device at regular intervals. There are several methods available to
enable the VCS754 to locate and upload the configuration file. For example, you
can enable the VCS754, when it starts up or reboots, to check for the presence of
a configuration file on a provisioning server. If the configuration file is new or has
been modified in any way, the VCS754 automatically downloads the file and
applies the new settings. For more information, see “Provisioning Using
Configuration Files” on page 76.
