Configure a Console on PC 1 with a Prime User

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

  1. Log onto the PC 1 as User 1.

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

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

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

    Note: When Profile Sharing 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 Profile Sharing 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 Profile Sharing Status in the status area will display the red icon () indicating that the Profile Sharing 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 Profile Sharing.

  5. To generate the Profile Sharing:

    1. Open Profile Sharing Options panel.

    2. Click on the configuration settings (or group of configuration settings) you wish to share, and click the Generate Profile Sharing button. This will create a Profile Sharing 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 Profile Sharing XML file and the Profile Sharing Status in the status area will display a green icon (). If for any reason the Configuration Wizard or Profile Sharing XML file cannot be imported, the Profile Sharing Status in the status area will display the red icon () indicating the error condition.

  6. Close the console and log out user 1.
