If the network is unable to export or import an extension to a node (automatically or using the
Export/Import feature) because there is an active programming session on that node, the node is
unable to communicate with its Voice Processor port, the node is down, or the links to the node are
down, the new extension will not be added to or changed on that node. (If Message Print is enabled,
error messages will indicate any unsuccessful broadcasts.) You must manually add or change the
new extension in the node database or try to export or import it later. You may want to check each
node to verify that their off-node device lists are programmed properly to allow access between the
nodes.
Extension numbers that exist before the network is established will not be automatically broadcast
to other nodes, until they are modified. They must be exported or imported using the Export/Import
option or programmed manually at each of the other nodes. Also, each node can have only 8000
off-node device entries in its database. When that limit has been reached, new devices received
through network broadcasts cannot be added to that node database.
To export or import devices:
1. Start Session Manager. Then, from the DB Studio menu bar, select Operations and then Ex -
port/Import Devices . The following dialog box appears. You must have a programmed Node
to export or import information from the node.
2. Select the following information, then click Start . Or, click Exit to cancel the operation without
exporting any information.
• Operation: Select the desired option to determine whether you will be importing devices
into the local node or exporting local devices to a remote node.
NOTE
In the default state, the Voice Processor Enable flag is enabled. If you do not have an external
Voice Processing system connected to the MiVoice Office 250, disable this flag before
attempting to import or export information over the network.
