You can also copy the Polycom custom configuration (if it exists) and image files from the 3Com
Asterisk Appliance and configure a boot server on your PC. The files are available at:
/var/lib/asterisk/phoneprov/polycom.xml
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phoneprov_configs/custom.cfg
You can then configure the Polycom telephone to use the boot server to acquire the correct
image files rather than use the 3Com Asterisk Appliance. For more information about configuring
Polycom telephones, see the telephone guide that comes with your telephone or the Polycom
web site.
Backing up and Restoring the 3Com Asterisk Appliance
Perform backup and restore procedures during non-business hours to ensure that you do not
affect the availability of the 3Com Asterisk Appliance and to avoid additional load on the system.
3Com recommends that you follow these guidelines during backup and restore procedures:
Ideally, restrict or limit active calls on the 3Com Asterisk Appliance, such as incoming or
outgoing calls, internal calls, or voice mail activity.
Do not interrupt the power supply to the 3Com Asterisk Appliance.
Do not make configuration changes by using the 3Com AsteriskGUI or by directly modifying
configuration files on the 3Com Asterisk Appliance.
Do not change the hardware configuration or attach new devices (such as telephones).
Do not execute commands on the 3Com Asterisk command line interface (CLI) or uClinux
shell.
