Device Management Platform CFG Block Management improvements - Bertin - 02-27-2018 10:37 AM

Hi,

I'm starting to use the Yealink Device Management Platform to manage our Yealink T48S Skype for Business phones (which are all provided with a special beta firmware 66.9.188.1). It works fine, but provisioning CFG blocks is not as intuitive as I had hoped for. Therefore a few suggestions:

1: More operations for Config Blocks
At this moment, you have 3 possible operations after a Config Block is created: "Update to target phone", "Edit" and "Download". It would be handy if this could be extended by some of the following suggestions:
- "Update to ALL devices" to push that config block not only to the selected phones, but to all phones
- "Upload" to make it possible to upload an already created .CFG file with settings and upload it to the Platform
- "Show settings" to give a short list of settings in this config block, without the need to go through all of the settings

2: Make it more visible which settings are modified in a Config Block
If you Edit a Config Block at this time, you have no indication if a setting is a default setting, or if you have already changed it, which makes a big difference if you do not want to overwrite certain settings in a phone. Now you have to Download the CFG-file and see which settings will be pushed to the phones.
This could be made visible by using colors in the Edit-view (for example by setting all items which will not be pushed to the phoned green, while highlighting items which are changed and will be pushed to the clients in red).

Hope some of these suggestions will make it to the next update.

Kind regards,
Bertin Peeters

Hi,

I received a link to the download from Lydis.nl-support. I downloaded it at http://sfyms.yealink.com/?ShareToken=AEF2ACBCF2F6380BB19C5CF8BD95B6A2100E4ED4.
We are running version 1.0.0.25 of the software (must be installed on a CentOS computer).

Kind regards,
Bertin
