Cancel : To stop an operation before it is completed, click Cancel . A message appears,
indicating that the operation was aborted by the user.
o
If the number of multi-protocol endpoints in the database being restored exceeds the
number indicated in the license,
an error message is displayed, and the database is
not restored.
o
If the features enabled in the database being restored do not match the features
available in the software license,
an error message is displayed, and the system is
inoperative.
o
If the database being restored contains Voice Processor information and the system
does not have an operating Voice Processor,
you will see a warning message and no
Voice Processor information will be loaded during the restore operation.
o
If restoring a database in Local Mode, you may receive an error message that
displays, “Database is incompatible,” due to the differences in system types. Use the
Change Selection method in Session Manager when doing database restores in a
local session. This will load any database over an existing local session database that
was loaded previously without any problems.
When a database is restored, the system checks the following information against the currently
loaded license:
•
System type
•
Number of devices
•
Features
If one or more of these items in the database differ from what is programmed in the license, an
error message is displayed, and the database is not restored. If the license is valid for the
database to be restored, the system checks the current IP settings for the server. If any
differences are detected, a screen similar to the following one displays.
This screen displays the current IP settings (Current Value column) and the settings detected in
the database to be restored (Restore Value). If you click
Current Settings , the current settings,
as shown in the Current Value column, are retained. Any other settings will be restored from the
selected database. If you click
Restore Settings , the IP settings are automatically changed to
those shown in the Restore Value column, overwriting the current settings.
If, however, you defaulted the database or uploaded new software, the system considers the
static database as “corrupt.” When the system is powered up, a backup database is not
detected, and the IP settings programmed in the restored database are automatically used.
NOTICE
Canceling a restore operation causes the system to default the database and terminate
the programming session.
