Configuration Manual
Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch 8118/8128 WLAN Handset
4.3.4 Save Handset Configuration as a Template
It is possible to save all settings of a VoWiFi Handset as template. Note that this does not 
include contacts, certificates and other personal data. The template will only contain 
configuration data.
This template can be used as a backup if you want to restore the configuration of the VoWiFi 
Handset at a later stage or as a template that can be applied to a number of VoWiFi Handsets.
1 Open WinPDM.
2 In the Numbers tab, select the VoWiFi Handset you want to save as a template.
3 Make a right-click and select “Use as a template...“. Enter a descriptive name for the 
template.
4 The Edit template window is opened. By default, all parameters are selected and are 
saved when clicking “OK“.
If one or more parameters should be excluded, remove them by clearing the checkbox 
next to the parameter.
Some parameters are user specific. If it is decided to apply this type of template to 
several VoWiFi Handsets, it is recommended to exclude the following parameters:
• User display text - A text string displayed in idle mode. The parameter is located 
directly under “Settings“.
• Phone lock PIN code - The security code used to unlock the keypad. The parameter is 
located under Settings > Locks.
• Endpoint ID - The identity/name of the user registered in the PBX.  The parameter is 
located under VoIP > General.
5 Click “OK“.
4.3.5 Synchronizing a Handset with WinPDM
After installing and saving a VoWiFi Handset, it will be synchronized each time it is connected 
to the WinPDM. The synchronization transfers parameter changes between the VoWiFi Handset 
and the WinPDM and vice versa as follows:
• If a parameter has been changed in the VoWiFi Handset, it will be transferred to the 
WinPDM.
• If a parameter has been changed in the WinPDM while the VoWiFi Handset was 
disconnected, it will be transferred to the VoWiFi Handset.
If the same parameter has been changed in both the WinPDM and the VoWiFi Handset, the 
value in WinPDM will be transferred to the VoWiFi Handset.
4.3.6 Configure Handset without Saving It in WinPDM
It is possible to configure a VoWiFi Handset without saving it in the WinPDM. An unsaved 
VoWiFi Handset do not have the symbol in the Saved column. The settings in the VoWiFi 
Handset can be synchronized and saved in the WinPDM later on. However, it is recommended 
to save the VoWiFi Handset in WinPDM if backup is needed. For example when a VoWiFi 
Handset needs to be replaced. 
1 Put the VoWiFi Handset in the DP1 cradle.
2 Open WinPDM.
3 In the Numbers tab, select the unsaved VoWiFi Handset you want to configure.
4 Select Number > Edit parameters.
