System Backup
System translations can be restored by using the data on the system or on the
backup translation card.
Save Translation
To ensure that the translation card contains the most recent copy of the translation
data, the system can automatically save the translation data onto the translation
card every 24 hours. Automatic daily backup of the system translation data is
controlled by an entry in the system parameters that defaults to “daily.”
If many translation data changes are made, use save translation to save the
translation data. This saves the new changes to the translation card without
having to wait for the next automatic daily translation backup.
NOTE:
The save translation command blocks all maintenance commands.
!
CAUTION:
It is recommended that save translation be used after business hours so
that dial tone delays are not encountered.
!
CAUTION:
Do not use save translation when alarm conditions are present.
Translation Card Backup
In case of a power failure, the system translations can be restored using the
translation card. Translation data can be saved during the daily scheduled
maintenance. However, if the translation data changes frequently, translations
should be saved frequently to ensure that the most up-to-date information is kept.
Note that only one translation card is provided with the system. It is recommended
that the customer purchase additional translation cards to serve as backup or
replacement. Translation cards should be alternated periodically.
It is also recommended that backup copies of the translation data be made
weekly, or after many changes have been made to the translation data. This
minimizes the loss of recent translation data changes if the translation card in the
system becomes damaged.
