n Support Entry Mode for ShoreTel

I’ve heard Support Entry Mode referred to as several different terms. Technician Mode, Maintenance Mode, Special Mode, and a few others, sometimes by TAC themselves. It’s really a special way of logging into ShoreTel Director so that you can change several hidden fields and it’s not obvious how to use it.
 

How To Access Support Entry Mode In ShoreWare Director

Step 1 – Open ShoreWare Director in your web browser. If you’ve integrated your ShoreTel system with Active Directory, you’ll need to click the logoff link up in the top left hand corner of the page.
Step 2 – Once you are at the log in screen, hold down your SHIFT and CTRL keys on your keyboard and click right on the word “User”. Check the graphic below. The highlighted area is where you need to click. Note that your cursor won’t change shape or anything.

Step 3 – When you see “*** Support Entry ***” show up in red you can log back in. There are two ways to log back in. If you are active directory integrated, just click Active Directory login button on the right and it will put you back in under your own username. The other way is to log in as you would normally with a ShoreTel username and password.

Some Things You Can Do With Support Entry Mode

This part is a work in progress, but I’ll just post what I know.
Change Dialing Rules – One of the hidden fields that comes up is the dialing rules under Trunk Groups. Go click on a trunk group and scroll to the bottom of the page. You’ll see this:

 Dialing Rules Capture

You will see much the same thing under “Sites”. It will change your entire sites Dialing Plan if you change it here.

You can change your dial string with the edit button. I’ll add documentation to this as I come across it. I’ve used it a few times to change how caller ID sends out or to add pauses, custom digits and so forth. Unfortunately, at the moment I don’t have any notes on what I did, as I was in a hurry with TAC the few times I’ve done it. I believe if you’ve gone through Advanced Engineer training they tell you how to do this. I do know you can really mess stuff up if you change this, so copy and paste the string into a backup text file or something before you alter it.

That’s all I know how to do at the moment. If you know something else Support Entry Mode allows, let me know in the contact form or comment below.

Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware

https://pete.akeo.ie/2011/06/extracting-and-using-modified-vmware.html Extracting and using a modified VMWare Player BIOS or UEFI firmware (updated 2016.05.17 for VMWare UEFI firmware extraction) One day or another, you may want to play with BIOS/UEFI firmware modification. But before jumping into physical motherboard flash alteration, where the consequences of a mishap can be difficult to salvage, experimenting with the BIOS/UEFI in a virtual environment sounds like a sound first step. You have of course the opportunity to do so using  bochs , however the ubiquitous nature and ease of use of the (freely available)  VMware Player  can turn the latter in a much better candidate for the job if you don't really care about the extra features that bochs brings in. This post details how one can extract the BIOS/UEFI firmwares used by the VMWare Player, and how to setup the player to use a modified one. Download and install VMware Player. The current version of VMwar...

https://github.com/the-P1neapple/WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass WinJS-Microsoft-Account-Bypass Overview This guide explains a method to bypass the Microsoft Account (MSA) requirement during the Windows 11 Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) by using the Developer Console to invoke a hidden local account setup screen. This method was discovered by examining the Windows 11 OOBE source code, which revealed an event listener for a hidden  _localAccountButton . Note A faster method has since been discovered using Command Prompt ( Source ), this repo was made 7 months prior to that discovery. The method I have documented is still the only known method for S-Mode installations. Following these steps, you can create a local account without needing to sign in with or create a Microsoft account. I also have a  Youtube Tutorial  that follows the same instructions below Steps to Bypass Microsoft Account Setup 1. Start Windows 11 Setup Begin the Windows 11 Setup Process. Select your region a...
