112 CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING SYSTEM HARDWARE COMPONENTS Using Auto Discover for Initial System Configuration Using the Auto Discover feature simplifies initial system configuration by adding information about new devices to the configuration database. "Devices" include telephones, Analog Line Card ports, Digital Line Card channels, Analog Terminal Adapter ports, 3Com Attendant Consoles, and "virtual devices" such as the pcXset Soft Telephone. Before you use the Auto Discover process to configure telephones and attendant consoles, you should review the procedures in "Telephones and Attendant Consoles" in Chapter 3. After a device has been discovered, the Auto Discover process does not find that device again. To remove a device from the system database, you must use the NBX NetSet utility to manually remove the device and its database record. Deleting a user does not delete the device associated with that user. Licensed devices will not be discovered until after you have entered the appropriate Group License to the system. For more information on Group Licensing, see "Device Licenses" on page 72. Table 24 summarizes Auto Discover actions for NBX system components. Table 24 Auto Discover Actions on NBX System Components Component NBX Analog Line Card and V3000 analog line ports NBX Digital Line Card Telephones Analog Terminal Cards Analog Terminal Adapters V3000 ATA port Auto Discover Action Gathers configuration information from each port on the card, assigns a default extension, and enters the information into the configuration database. Gathers configuration information from the card, assigns a default extension, and enters the information into the configuration database. After you Auto Discover the Digital Line Card, you may need to edit the Dial Plan to configure Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers. Gathers configuration information from the telephone, assigns a default User Profile labeled "new user," assigns the next lowest available extension number to the profile, and enters the information into the configuration database. Auto Discover Telephones finds both Analog Terminal Cards and Analog Terminal Adapters. By default, the Auto Discover process assigns extension number 1000 (4-digit Dial Plan) or 100 (3-digit Dial Plan) as the first telephone extension. You can use the NBX NetSet utility to specify a new extension starting number. To simplify Auto Attendant configuration, you should start a range at a base number, for example, 1000/100, 2000/200, 3000/300, or 4000/400. The default Auto Attendant assumes that extension 1000 (4-digit dial plan) or 100 (3-digit dial plan) is the extension of a human attendant (receptionist).
