Update Object configuration

This step allows you to choose options for updating existing configuration.


In most tasks, some of the options will have been pre-selected and you are not permitted to change them. In these cases, the fields relating to these options do not appear in the task, but the related subtasks are still included.



If you have just created a new template and are now starting a task to use it, the template name may not immediately appear in drop-down list boxes at the start of the task. In this case, click the Cancel pushbutton. This refreshes the display to show your changes.

Enter the following information, and then click on Next to jump to the next step.


Parameter

Description
Select access hardware Choose whether you want to update access hardware or subscriber configuration. Values:
  • BLES IAD
    Update a BLES IAD
  • Configured SIP Binding
    Update a Configured SIP Binding.
  • None / Any
    Update subscriber configuration, which can be on any access hardware; do not update any access hardware.
Select subscriber configuration Choose the type of subscriber for which you want to update the configuration. This field appears only if Select access hardware is set to None / Any. Values:
  • None
  • Individual Line
  • Multiple Individual Lines

You cannot configure Off-Premises Extension or Teen Service for multiple Individual Lines at the same time. If you need to configure Off-Premises Extension or Teen Service support for Individual Lines, you must set Select subscriber configuration to Individual Line so that you can update each line by itself.

The remaining steps in the task, and the remaining fields in this initial step, depend on the choices you make for access hardware and subscriber configuration, as follows.

Allow override of subscriber template fields This field appears only if you are updating the core configuration for an Individual Line, Business Group, or PBX, or if you are updating the configuration for a PBX Line.

The call services template that this Business Group will use for its Call Pickup Services (Call Pickup and Directed Call Pickup) and Outgoing Call Services (Mandatory Account Codes).

Specify whether the task should jump past steps in the call services configuration that do not have any mandatory fields (so that all field values in these steps will be taken from the template or the system defaults). If you do not select this option, the Next pushbutton will take you through all steps of the task, so that you can see the values being set and can override them if permitted to do so.
Check call service status after configuration This field appears only if you are updating the Call Services configuration for a single Individual Line, Business Group Line, PBX, or MADN.

Task behavior options

If you are updating a Configured SIP Binding, the core configuration for an Individual Line, Business Group, MADN, or PBX, the Call Services configuration for an Individual Line, or the configuration for a PBX Line, enter the following information.


Parameter

Description
Allow updates that temporarily disable objects Select this checkbox to allow configuration changes that require the Individual Line, Business Group, MADN, PBX, or associated objects to be disabled temporarily. Leave the box unselected if you do not want to make any changes that disable objects, or if you are only viewing the configuration and do not need to change it. If you are updating Call Services for an Individual Line, you will need to select this option if you need to change the Off-Premises Extension configuration.

Choose whether you want the task to wait until the new hardware components have been activated before you can continue with the next step of the task.
