Backup Programming-Automatic (#123) - Avaya PARTNER ACS Installation And Use Manual

®
PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation, Programming, and Use
Considerations
Whenever you change the setting for Backup Programming–Automatic from Not Active to
I
Active, a backup occurs at the next occurrence of 2:00 a.m. After that, backups are done at
2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month until you change the setting back to Not Active.
Slot 2 is recommended for the Backup/Restore PC Card; however, you can use either slot. If
I
the system detects Backup/Restore PC Cards in both slots when a backup begins, the first slot
is used and the second is ignored.
The same Backup/Restore PC Card can be used for both automatic and manual backups,
I
since the data is recorded in two separate files. An automatic backup replaces the
AUTO.mmddyy file only, and a manual backup replaces the MAN.mmddyy file only.
Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102) for systems prior to Release 3.0, and
I
System Time (#103) are set correctly. These settings are not backed up.
Calls continue to be handled normally during an automatic or manual backup.
I
In Release 4.0 and later systems, the configuration of the 1600 DSL module is not backed up
I
to the PCMCIA card. Instead, the configuration is retained in the flash memory of the 1600
DSL module. Upon a system cold-start, the configuration retained in the flash memory
becomes the "active" configuration of the 1600 DSL module.
Backup Programming–Automatic (#123)
Use this feature to set up the automatic backup of all programming (except the system date, day,
and time). When Backup Programming–Automatic is set to Active, the information is backed up
at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month (determined by the system date and time settings) to a
Backup/Restore PC Card.
If Backup Programming–Automatic is Active and an automatic backup fails, a Backup-Failure
Alarm message appears (instead of the system date and time) on the top line of the telephone
display at idle Extensions 10 and 11. The message is one of the following:
Backup Failed : Write Prot
I
Backup Failed : Check Card
I
Backup Failed : SystemBusy
I
Backup Failed : InsertCard
I
See Chapter 11, "Troubleshooting"
actions, and for the procedure for clearing the Backup-Failure Alarm message.
