IP Office Manager can be used to create a new configuration without connecting to an IP Office system. During the process, you can specify the locale of the system, what type of trunk cards it uses and what type of control unit and expansion modules to include.

This allows the creation of a configuration prior to installation of system. The configuration file can then be placed onto the System SD card before it is installed into the system. Otherwise the configuration can be uploaded to the system after initial installation of the system.

•The configuration created must match the physical equipment in the IP Office system onto which it is loaded. Doing otherwise may cause the IP Office system to reset and experience other problems.
