A common requirement is to change ethernet port settings on phones. This scenario is similar to changing any other setting on the phone, such as the ring tone on the first line or preselecting a background image from the background image list.
Sample macros are included in the default configuration by the installer and can be either directly used or modified to specific needs. Two macros are included in the default configuration:
•Change default ring tone on phones.
•Changing Ethernet port settings to Auto.
The above sample macros are standard bulk key macros. They can be applied like any other macro with a wizard described here.
