8.4.4.14 Configuration File
The Configuration File screen enables you to restore/change (download a new ini file to the
Device) or backup the current configuration file that the device is using (make a copy of the
VoIP device's ini file and store it in a directory on your PC).
Restore your configuration - If the VoIP device has been replaced or has lost its
programming information, you can restore the VoIP device configuration file from a
previous backup or from a newly created ini file. To restore the VoIP Device
configuration from a previous backup you must have a backup of the VoIP device
information stored on your PC. (For information about restoring ini file defaults or
backup files, refer to' 'Restoring and Backing Up the MG 3200 Configuration' on page
207'.)
Back up your configuration - If you want to protect your VoIP device programming. .
The generated backup ini file contains values that have been set by the user or are
other than the default values.
In the Configuration File screen, you can bring an ini file from the device to a directory in
your PC, and send the ini file from your PC to the device.
Protect the device configuration by bringing the ini file from the device to your PC. Later, if
another device is replaced or loses its programming data, you'll be able to restore / send
the ini file backed up on your PC to the device.
The ini file is a proprietary configuration text file containing configuration parameters and
data. Sending the ini file to the device only provisions parameters that are contained in the
ini file.
The ini file with parameters set at their default values is on the CD accompanying the
device. The ini file can also be received as an e-mail attachment from Nortel Technical
Support. Users can also generate their own ini file using The DConvert utility (refer to the
Appendix, ''Utilities'' on page 353).

A device reset may be needed in certain circumstances for the setup to be
activated. Reset can be scheduled for a later time period when call traffic is

to use' the 'Save Configuration scre'en' on page
the MG 3200's non-volatile memory.
If you are modifying multiple screens, perform the reset after you are
finished modifying all of the screens you intended and NOT after each
screen.
