Main Menu (MM) Administration

Main Menu (MM) Administration

Use the 46xxsettings file to set the system parameter BRURI to point to the URI where the 9610 backup/restore file (9610data.txt) resides. Then specify objects for the Main Menu via the “9610data.txt” backup file.

NOTE: The 9610 will not display a Main Menu unless you set BRURI to point to the 9610data.txt file and specify Main Menu objects.

Each administered object, up to the maximum of 10, must have valid, non-null data in each of the three parameters as indicated:

MMLBLxx - the label displayed to the user for this object, up to 16 characters.
MMTYPExx - one of four choices: 01=URI, 02=telephone number, 03=local Contacts application, 04=local Directory application.
MMDATAxx - the data used depends on the value of MMTYPExx:

a URI, if MMTYPE is “01,”
a dialable string if MMTYPE is “02,”
the English word “Contacts” if MMTYPE is “03,” and
the English word “Directory” if MMTYPE is “04.”

NOTE: If administered as a URI, MMDATAxx is up to 255 ASCII characters in length.

In these parameters, xx is a two-digit integer from 01 to 10 inclusive, including a leading zero if applicable. If MMTYPE is 01 or 02, xx must be the same for each of the three parameters for a Main Menu entry to be displayed and associated with the administered data. If MMTYPE is 03 or 04, xx must be the same as a corresponding MMLBL item for a Main Menu entry to be displayed, but no MMDATA need be assigned. Any MMDATA assigned to that xx entry is ignored.

If a given administered object has null or invalid data in any of the required associated parameters, that object is completely ignored. Therefore for a MMTYPE 01 or 02 entry to be listed on the Main Menu, all three associated parameters must be non-null with valid data. An MMTYPExx of “00” is considered invalid.

The default values for Main Menu (MM) objects are:


Parameter	Default Value
MMLBL01	Contacts (automatically translated into the user interface language).
MMTYPE01	3 (Local Contacts application).
MMDATA01	Contacts (English only)
MMLBL02	Directory (automatically translated into the user interface language).
MMTYPE02	4 (Local Directory application).
MMDATA02	Directory (English only).

The default “Directory” will appear as the first Main Menu object whenever it is not administered in the Main Menu, if there is no 9610 backup file, or if retrieval of the backup file fails.

The DATA terms “Contacts” and “Directory” are always administered in English, and are independent of the user interface (UI) language. The administrator can create labels for the local applications in the UI language if desired. The administrator can use, for example, “Contacts” for a browser-based application, and “List” for the local Contacts application. Instead, the term used presents the appropriate local application, which does present the UI in the user’s language.

The Main Menu allows up to 10 administrable objects including the two local application objects, Contacts, and Directory so that the total number of items fit on two screens.
