10 Configuring the Phone
Configuring the Phone
You can configure the phone using one of three methods:
 From the phone itself, using the menus. The phone menus are best suited to
configuring a few settings, perhaps after the initial setup has been done. For
administrators, the settings available on the phone menus are limited to
network settings. See Using the Admin Settings menu on page 13. Most of the
settings acc
essible on the phone itself are most useful for end users. Through
the menu, they can customize the screen appearance, sounds, and manage
calls. For more information, see the VSP725 Deskset User Guide.
 The Web User Interface, or WebUI, which you access using your Internet
browser. See Using the WebUI on page 18. The browser-based interface is easy
to navigate
and best-suited to configuring a large variety of phone settings.
The WebUI has every setting required for configuring a single phone. You can
enter service provider account settings on the WebUI, configure the
programmable keys, and set up provisioning, which will allow you to
automatically and remotely update the phone after initial configuration.
 Provisioning using configuration files. Working with configuration files is the
best way to configuring multiple phones. There are several methods available
to enable the phone to locate and upload the configuration file. For example,
you can enable the phone, 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 phone automatically downloads
the file and applies the new settings. For more information, see Provisioning
