Area Codes
Import
A list of all UK Area Codes is provided with the system. This file is called areacodes.txt and is stored in the
ftp directory of the Call Server. This area can be accessed via a browser or Command Prompt as
described in the Admin Access to a Call Server section on page 273.
To import the entries contained in this file:
1
Select the Import button
2
Confirmation that each entry has been added to the database will be displayed.
3
Select Continue at the bottom to return to the File Import/Export screen.
When importing Area Codes if a duplicate name is found a dot will be added until the name is unique, eg
if three Area Codes for Yeovil are imported, one
will be called “Yeovil”, the next “Yeovil.” and the next
“Yeovil..”
The Import function will always add entries to the database; therefore if you accidentally press the Import
button twice the entries will be added twice. Use the Remove button to correct this.
If you wish to import your own Area Codes list ensure the file is saved in a .csv format and called
areacodes.txt. Use FTP to copy this file into the ftp directory. You may wish to make a copy of the
existing areacodes.txt before you do this.
Remove
The Remove button will delete all entries from the database that match entries found in areacodes.txt.
Additional entries created manually will not be deleted. Confirmation that each entry has been deleted
from the database will be displayed. Select Continue at the bottom to return to the File Import/Export
screen.
Export
The Export option will copy all Area Codes entries contained in the database to a file called
areacodes.out.txt. If an existing areacodes.out.txt already exists this will be overwritten. You may wish to
make a copy of this file before performing an Export.
If any trailing dots are found in the Name field these will be removed.
If you wish to open areacodes.out.txt in Microsoft Excel, for example, change the file extension from
“.txt” to “.csv”.
You may wish to use this file as a means of changing the order the Area Code entries are displayed in the
database. Make the changes required, save the file as areacodes.txt and copy it into the ftp directory,
then Import the file.
Export & Delete
This option will export all Area Code entries to areacodes.out.txt and delete the entries from the
database.
