BusinessPhone Communication Platform 5.1
Dialogs

## Templates

With a BMS template, you can create a configuration with predefined parameters in offline mode.

To access the dialog, open the last menu in the Configuration directory tree and click on “Create Templates”.

There are three types of templates:

- Board templates

- Templates are created per board type: ELU‑A, ELU‑D, ELU‑C, BTU‑A, BTU‑B, BTUD‑C, BTUD‑P, MFU, ICCU, IPU. More than one template can be created for each board type.

- CPU template

- You can also create a template for the system data, i.e. data not referring to a board. For more convenience, this type of template is defined as a CPU template.

- BP template

- You can create a template for a complete system. A template of this kind is called a BP Template. When the template has been applied, you can select another template to apply to a particular board.

Note

Except for the BP template, you need to be in online mode to create a template.

### Writing a template

The internal implementation of the templates is based on the same script language as the sessions, but you do not need to write the script code manually.

The following functions are available:

- Creating a board template
- Creating a CPU template
- Creating a BP template
- Apply templates
- Importing a template
- Exporting a template
- Deleting a template

To access the template features, open the last menu in the Configuration directory tree and click on the menu item “Create Templates” or “Apply Templates”.

### Creating a board template

If you want to create a template for a specific board group, e.g. ELU‑A, you should configure the first individual (extension) with the desired default values first.

- Click on the “Create Templates” submenu of the last menu item in the configuration directory tree.

- The Create Template dialog opens. The dialog shows the available BusinessPhone cabinets. Each board is represented by a link.

- To create a template for a board, select the board by clicking on the link.
- Enter the name of the template.
- Enter short description for the template.
- Click on the Submit button.

- A script will be created based on the values that are programmed for the first individual of the selected board. The script is saved under the entered file name.

### Creating a CPU template

If you want to create a template for the system data – i.e. data not referring to a board - you should configure the required parameters with the desired default values first.

- Click on the “Create Templates” submenu of the last menu item in the configuration directory tree. The Create Template dialog opens.

To create a system data template, click on the CPU board. A file will be created in the BMS import/export format (not a script!) from the values programmed in the System (and other) parameters.

### Creating a BP template

If you want to create a template for the complete system, you should create a reference system containing all boards that are of interest and program the required parameters with the desired default values first.

- Click on the “Create Templates” submenu of the last menu item in the configuration directory tree.

- The Create Template dialog opens. The dialog shows the available BusinessPhone cabinets. Each board is represented by a link.

- Click on the Create BP Template button.
- Enter a name for the template.
- Enter a short description for the template.
- Click on the Submit button.

- A script is created for each of the boards present in the system as well as for the system data. A list of these scripts will be included in the file.

- Click on OK to return to the Create template dialog.
