NBX System Database

The NBX system database contains a default dial plan that is initially
loaded at the factory and is reloaded if you purge the database. The
default dial plan for the SuperStack 3 NBX system is a 4-digit plan; for the
NBX 100, it is a 3-digit plan.

Changes that you make to any system settings, including changes made
by importing a modified dial plan configuration file, are reflected in the
database. When you reboot the system, it loads the database with any
changes that you have made.

The NBX system database includes all of the settings necessary for system
operation:

■

IP and MAC addresses for the Network Call Processor, telephones, and
line cards

■

Auto Attendant definitions and menus

■

Dial plan configuration file information

■

Voice mail settings and messages

■

Telephone extensions

■

Hardware configuration information

■

Button mappings for the NBX Telephones

■

Call group definitions

■

Software license information

■

NBX System Dial Plan

You can import a dial plan configuration file to provide the system with a
set of operating instructions for managing the telephone system.
Alternatively, if you have made changes to the currently loaded
instructions through the NBX NetSet utility, you can export the dial plan
configuration file to save it. You can also make changes by editing the
configuration file off-system, using any ASCII editor, and then importing
the modified file. You can quickly and easily reuse a given configuration
file on many systems. For more information, see “Importing and
Exporting Dial Plan Configuration Files” later in this chapter.

The system is shipped with several default dial plan configuration files,
typically, a 3-digit and a 4-digit file for each country that is supported.
In addition, the file

samples.txt

contains several examples that illustrate

how you can configure the dial plan configuration file to control how the
system manages incoming and outgoing calls.
