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.
Remove
The Remove button will delete all entries from the Dial Plan entered in the Use This Plan field that match
entries found in dialplan.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 Dial Plan entries contained in the Dial Plan entered in the Use This Plan
field to a file called dialplan.out.txt. If an existing dialplan.out.txt already exists this will be overwritten.
You may wish to make a copy of this file before performing an Export.
If you wish to open dialplan.out.txt in Microsoft Excel, for example, change the file extensio
n from “.txt”
to “.csv”.
You may wish to use this file as a means of changing the order the Dial Plan entries are displayed in the
Dial Plan. Make the changes required, save the file as dialplan.txt and copy it into the ftp directory.
Ensure the required Dial Plan has been entered in the Use This Plan field and Import the file.
Export & Delete
This option will export all Dial Plan entries from the specified Dial Plan to dialplan.txt and delete the
entries from the specified Dial Plan.
Import Option (If file came from recent export..)
If the dialplan.txt file was created from a file exported from the same system then this option can be
selected and Time Plan and LCR Plan entries will be imported.
Import Option (Guess at extra fields..)
This option can b
e used to ‘second guess’ the entries for Time Plan and LCR Plan fields provided there is
already one entry in the Dial Plan with these fields entered. All entries imported will then have the same
as the existing entry.
Export Option
If this option is selected when exporting to dialplan.out.txt a space will be added to telephone numbers
between the first 0 and the next digit so that Microsoft Excel, for example, will not treat the entry as a
number and remove the 0.
DDI Plan
Use this Plan
This field will determine the DDI Plan into which DDI Plan entries will be imported or exported from as
explained below.
