DSM16 - Device Configuration

  • Printer-friendly version
  • EPUB version

The Device Configuration tab is used to set defaults appropriate for the types of devices being supported via the DSM16 connection. 
 

When you switch between any of the phone type settings, for example changing from Norstar/BCM to the M1/CS1000, Panasonic, or IP Office 95xx settings, you must be sure that you have disconnected the amphenol interface on the module before applying changes as the power levels differ for each type of set.

 

FAILURE TO COMPLY with the above notice may damage either the phones or the DSM16p. Any damage caused by incorrect configuration and procedure will VOID the E-MetroTel warranty. 

Device Configuration tab - DSM16P Card

The DSM16P Card supports either Norstar/BCM or M1/CS1000 style digital sets. Therefore, the Device Configuration tab settings controls whether the card is to be used with Norstar/BCM sets, M1/CS1000 sets, or Avaya 95xx Digital sets. To adjust any of these settings:

  1. Open the DSM16p Web-based Configuration Utility
  2. From the Gateway tab, select Device Configuration and adjust the settings as required
  3. Once you have made the desired changes, press Save Changes

Locating the DSM16p card

The DSM16P card may be one of many in a single or multiple Galaxy Expand chassis or even in one or more Galaxy Express chassis. It is possible to determine which card corresponds with the particular IP address to which you are logged in, by using the Identify button on the Device Configuration page.

  1. Click on the Identify button.
