LD 43 using EDD command

Note: An alternative to the Archive command in LD 143 is the BKO
command in LD 43. However; the Archive in LD 143 is the
recommended method, as it provides one compressed zip file that
contains everything necessary to update the MGC, and it allows for
multiple databases to be copied to the RMD. Another advantage to using
LD 143 Archive is that it names the database while LD 43 BKO simply
copies it drive B. As a result, there is less risk of overwriting existing files
using LD 143 to archive the database.
There is a fundamental difference between the small system, running an SSC,
and a CS 1000E running a CP PM call server. This difference is represented
in how the format of the TN (Terminal Number) is displayed.
The small system TN is displayed to the administrator using a two-field
format, or slot-unit. In a CS 1000E CP PM system, the TN is displayed using
a four-field format, or loop-shelf-card-unit. This four-field TN format is the
same as those used in current large systems (for example, CP PII, CP PIV).
The end result is that when a small system database is converted to a large
system database, the TNs are re-mapped. The result is that the displayed TN
changes during the conversion process. The administrator must be aware of
the TN mapping. For example, a small system with an IP phone configured
in TN 61-0 now has that same IP phone show up in 96-0-1-0 after the
conversion process.

command prompt.
