Configure a Console on PC 1 with a Master User

To configure a console on a PC with a master user:

  1. Log onto the PC 1 as User 1.

  2. Install the console software as described in the installation guidelines and configure the Master Profile page in the Configuration Wizard as follows:

    • Enable the Master Profile feature by selecting the path and file name for the shared Master Profile file.

    • Designate this console user as the master by selecting the check box to enable Master Profile Write Access.

    Note: When Master Profile is enabled, the Configuration Wizard creates an XML file containing Configuration Wizard settings. These settings are shared with other users on the PC and include all enterable Configuration Wizard options with the exception of Administrative Access and Master Profile Write Access. The XML file can be found here:
    C:\ProgramData\Mitel\MiVoice Business Console\config\ConfigWizardSettings.xml

    All windows users that log into this PC share these Configuration Wizard settings.

  3. After completing the initial Configuration Wizard setup, start the console. The console will import the Configuration Wizard settings and console application settings will be set to default values. The Master Profile Status in the status area will display the red icon () indicating that the Master Profile file has not been generated.

  4. Now, configure the console application settings, such as the options panels, directory administration panels, menu selections, call handling toolbar buttons, and so on. and validate your configuration settings. Note that changes that are made are written to the registry for the logged in user, but are not yet available for other users. The status area will display a red icon () indicating that changes made have not been saved to the Master Profile.

  5. To generate the Master Profile:

    1. Open Master Profile Options panel.

    2. Click on the configuration settings (or group of configuration settings) you wish to share, and click the Generate Master Profile button. This will create a Master Profile XML file containing the shared console settings in the location you specified during the Configuration Wizard. You will still see the red icon () indicating that the console should be restarted.

    3. Restart the console. When the console starts up it will import the Configuration Wizard XML file and the Master Profile XML file and the Master Profile Status in the status area will display a green icon (). If for any reason the Configuration Wizard or Master Profile XML file cannot be imported, the Master Profile Status in the status area will display the red icon () indicating the error condition.

  6. Close the console and log out user 1.
