Is there a way to make a change to 50 tn's at one time?

Is there a way to make a change to a group of phones at once.

I have a DID group 8000 to 8099. I want to turn on GPUA group pickup allowed. This means making a change to 50 tn's one at a time.

Is there a quick and dirty way?

Thanks in advance.

No OTM yet What is MAT?

I'd like to hear about this script. The more info to share the better.

Thank you for your prompt response.

mat was replaced by otm, are you using procomm? if so look at aspect script help, that's what i use to make global changes, with scripts i can make the type of changes you are looking for.

what is aspect script help?

 

[rmbbikes]

I see what your saying now. I use Procomm. It's similar to what Software companies use to test their software. Basically it records your keystrokes and input and then you play it back. You can link it to a database to pull your data from.

I'm not 100% on this but that's what I got from playing around with it

procomm software has a fair help file that will help you get started with script files, ascept is a procomm software scripting flavor.. if i do a script record, then prt a dnb, tnd, stop the recorder, name the script. edit it to remove the the dn and tn and the waitfor "TN"/wait for "DN" lines, do a complile and save. when i run it, it does all the commands and stops for me to enter the dn, starts again and waits for me to enter (or copy and paste to host) the tn. you can use merge software (word) to merge a txt (.cap) file to that (or any) script.

if i change one phone. (add vm) then merge a list of 200 phones i need vm on (hunt 3301 cls hta mwa fna) fdn 3301 key 8 mwk 3301) the script will repeat the operation 200 times. if needed i can merge the type=x line and the key x line on a per station base. to write the script, do the merge and run it, would be a 1 to hour task. for me to change 200 phones and get it perfect would take much longer. and i can reuse the original script to make any other change i want done o a group of phones. any class mark or any keys. and yes i use this to out 8 stations on a old dual card and put them back in on a supl. if you have more questions of scripts, i will be back in the office monday and i can paste a few short one here for you. just start a new thread then and i'll see it.

Hi,

John Poole, do you have any procomm scripts where you actually gets DN or TN:s from another file?

If you have a loop in your procomm script it should be possible to insert a TN or other word from a separate file.

 

[johnpoole]

yes you can use loop: and goto loop at any point, better is to use word to do a mail merge into a script file, that takes tn's dn's class marks or whatever and inserts it into your script file. i use it when i need to make large changes.
