In addition to the keyset programming, the Aspire system provides the ability to use a PC to access system programming. The Windows-based PCPro and the HTML-based WebPro allows you to:
● Edit the telephone system programming options from a remote location.
The PCPro application requires changes to be uploaded to the system before they take effect. The WebPro application applies the changes as soon as the APPLY or OK icon is clicked. ● Access system maintenance functions (like reports and tests).
In addition, PCPro allows you to:
● Save your programming to your PC’s hard disk - then upload it via a LAN (Local Area Network), PPP, serial or USB connection.
PPP is a protocol that allows a computer to use a regular telephone line and a serial interface (modem) to make TCP/IP connections.
Local programming is possible using the LAN, USB or serial connection (the USB connection is not avail- able on the Aspire S) (CTA and CTU adapters cannot be used). Remote programming is possible using the dial- up serial port connection or LAN connection provided there is internet/network access to the IP address of the CPU.
● Download the existing programming in the telephone system via a LAN, PPP, serial or USB connection - and save it to your PC’s hard disk.
● Set up a default database with the settings you use most often.
● Create a unique database for each phone system you have installed. Since you save the site-specific data to your PC’s hard disk, you can easily retrieve a customer’s programming if something goes wrong.
