Back Up and Restore Settings
Back up individual Deskset settings and system settings so that they can be restored if
the network or a Deskset loses its settings. You can also back up a Deskset to copy the
settings to other Desksets.
Back Up and Restore Extension Settings
Each extension has its own settings and must be backed up and restored individually.
The following items are backed up:
Calls: New Messages, Redial, and Call Logs
Messages and Lists: Voicemail Messages, Personal Directory, and Quick Dial
Deskset Settings: Display, Sounds, and Preferred Audio mode
User Settings: Greetings, Name Recording, and Intercom Auto Answer
Admin Settings: CFNA, FWD/Trans Line, Programmable Feature Keys, and User
Password.
To back up the Extension Settings:
1. In the navigation menu at left, click
Device Management
, then
Back up/Restore
.
The
Back up/Restore Extension Settings
page appears.
2. Select the desired extension from the
Select Extension to Back up
list.
Backup files are automatically saved on your computer using the following
naming convention:
backup_[device]_[extension number]_[year]-[month]-[day]_[time].cfg
.
The device will be either “ds” for a Deskset or “system” for a system backup:
The backup file for extension 208 that was created at 4:29 PM on October 26,
2010 would be named
backup_ds_208_2010-10-26_1629.cfg
.
The system backup file that was created at 4:35 PM on October 26, 2010 would
be named
backup_system_2010-10-26_1635.cfg
.
If you are using Safari®, the backup file will be saved as a .tar file instead of a
.cfg file. You will still be able to restore this file safely.
Only back up one Deskset at a time.
Only restore one Deskset at a time.
If you back up an extension less than one minute after creating another
backup for that extension, you may overwrite the earlier one, since the file
names may be identical.
