Configtool - Advanced Mode


Advanced Mode can be entered by either selecting the Advanced Mode button on the initial screen displayed by Wizard Mode or by using the /a option when starting the Configuration Tool from the command line:
C:\<path>\configtool.exe /a

Use Advanced Mode for more complex configurations and where there are multiple Brooktrout modules with different settings.

Advanced Mode will not take you through a wizard, but will instead show you a page like this:

Help for parameter values

Context sensitive online help for parameters is included in the Configuration Tool.

Licensing

- The License button launches the Brooktrout License Manager (brktlicmgr.exe). Licensing is only relevant to the Brooktrout SR140 software product, which is a non-hardware product.

If you are using only hardware products from Brooktrout, you can ignore all Brooktrout licensing options.

Configuration

BTCALL Parameters and Call Control Parameters, including the Module Tab parameters will need to be configured. See Configuring Brooktrout boards for parameter values.

For the configuration of an IP stack and SR140, see Configure SR140 modules.

Completing the configuration

When you are done configuring, you have the option to save the configuration to the configuration files and to apply the configuration.

Apply will save the configuration, and start the Boston Host Service, which will download the firmware to all detected hardware modules. You can verify the location of the configuration files (btcall.cfg and callctrl.cfg) by going to the Options menu in Advanced Mode, and selecting Preferences.
