IMPORTANT

When you switch between any of the phone type settings, for example changing from Norstar/BCM to the M1/CS1000, Panasonic, or AVAYA 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.

IMPORTANT

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 – DSM16 Card

The DSM16 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 Digital sets (was called IP Office in previous version). To adjust any of these settings:

  1. Open the DSM16 Administration
  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
