6. Main Screen
Displays the screens selected from 4. System Menu above. 
For details, see Sections 2.7 [1] Configuration to 2.16 [10] Maintenance.
Standard Buttons and Elements
There are several standard buttons that are displayed on many screens within the Maintenance 
Console.
The standard buttons are as follows:
In addition, many screens within the software display a small open folder icon () beside lists of 
setting items. Clicking this icon will collapse part of the list, allowing other items to be displayed. The 
icon will change to a closed folder (
). 
Clicking the closed folder icon will expand the list again.
2.1.4 Card Status
Certain tools, utilities and settings require that the target card be set to out-of-service (OUS) or in-
service (INS) status before the operation is carried out. Where required, this is noted in the 
description of each item. Card status changes can only be performed when the software is in 
Interactive mode (see 
2.1.1 Starting Maintenance Console and Software Modes).
 In service means that the card is installed correctly in the PBX, and is capable of being 
used normally.
 Out of service means that the card is installed correctly in the PBX, but has been 
temporarily removed from use. This allows settings to be modified or software to be 
upgraded.
 Fault means that the card is not installed in the PBX correctly, or is not functioning correctly. 
For more information, see the Installation Manual.

be opened. The only files that can be opened are files that were created by the Maintenance Console 
for a supported PBX.

Transfer PC to PBX (SD Card).
