Restore

The Restore option allows qualified service personnel to load system programming from either a
disk or from the hard disk into the processor module memory.
This procedure is used either to program a new system if a disk was created through surrogate
mode programming, or to restore information (using a backup disk) lost through system failure. It is
also part of the upgrade procedure.
Considerations
Review the following items before you begin the restore procedure:
The system will be forced idle during a restore procedure.
I
You must have a backup file containing system programming before you use this procedure.
I
See ''Backup'' on page
Features that were not programmed when the backup file was created are reset to factory
I
settings.
The data restored reflects the number of extensions and lines available on the system at the
I
time the backup was created. The remaining extensions and lines are set to the factory
settings that are initialized during a Restart (cold start).
Restore is terminated under the following conditions:
I
– If fewer boards are listed on the backup disk than on the control unit.
– If any real board is out of sequence with the boards listed on the backup disk.
– If phantom boards are not listed last.
– If the operating mode of the system being restored is Hybrid/PBX, but the control unit
processor module has been modified to operate only in Key mode.
A successful restore is followed automatically by a Restart (cold start).
I
WARNING:
An unsuccessful or terminated restore results in a System Erase (frigid start). All calls
are dropped. The system configuration is erased. All system programming is lost and the
system returns to the factory settings. If the restore is being done remotely, the
connection is dropped immediately.
If this happens, attempt to reconnect to the control unit and immediately perform another
restore. If this is not successful, programming must be restored on site.
