Configuring Multiple Devices with the SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility

The Export and Import features in the SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility can be utilized to expedite the process if multiple devices are being configured.

1. Navigate to the SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility of the device you have configured and will use as a template for all other devices.
   The device that will be used as a template for all other devices must already be configured as described in this document. If the template device is not configured, follow the steps in this document to configure the device before utilizing the Export feature.
2. Log into the SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility. See Accessing the SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility.
3. Select Utilities > Import and Export Configuration.
   
   The Import and Export Configuration page displays.

   

4. To Export a configuration:
   1. Expand the Export section of the page.
   2. Select the Export Configuration File drop-down menu to view all export file choices. Select the export option that is appropriate for your needs. For this example, All Configuration is selected.
      
   3. Select the Export button, located next to the Export Configuration File drop-down menu. A dialog box displays.
      
   4. Select the location on your local computer to which you want to save the configuration file, and then select the OK button. The file is now saved to your local computer.
   5. Logout of the SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility from which you just saved the configuration file.
   6. Enter the IP address in your web browser of the SpectraLink device to which you want to apply the saved configuration file.
   The SpectraLink Web Configuration Utility for that device displays.

   1. In the Import Configuration page, select the Choose File button located at the end of the Import Configuration File field.
   2. Navigate to the location of the XML configuration file that you previously saved to your local computer and select the file. The configuration file path is displayed in the Import Configuration File field.
      
   3. Select the Import button located below the Choose File button. A confirmation message displays.
      
   4. Select an operation.
      • Select the Save button to save your changes without importing the configuration file.
      • Select the Import button to import the configuration file and apply the device configuration.
      • Select the Close button to close the confirmation message.

      In this example, the Import button is selected and a message displays that confirms the configuration file was successfully imported.
