Removing pre-programmed data

Customer Configuration Backup and Restore

Operations performed

Pre-programmed data cannot be removed from the Option 11C or Option 11C
Mini system once it is loaded into the system. However, pre-programmed
data can be bypassed during first-time system installations.
During start-up, the Software Installation Program is automatically invoked.
The Option 11C and 11C Mini then loads system data from the Software
Daughterboard, or MSC for the Option 11C Mini, and prompts the user for a
variety of information, including the time and date, type of installation,
feature set required, and type of database. At this point, if the user selects any
response other than "Default database," pre-programmed data will not be
loaded on the system
Note: The pre-programmed data on the Option 11C and 11C Mini
system can provide an effective starting point for programming
telephone and trunk information. Before bypassing the option of loading
pre-programmed data, take the time to determine whether the default
data can be used at this site.
The Customer Configuration Backup and Restore (CCBR) feature provides
the ability to store the configuration database of the Option 11C on an
external hard-drive of an IBM-type PC or Macintosh-type computer.
The CCBR feature can be invoked on-site with the use of a modem
eliminator, or remotely over a modem connection.
The CCBR feature performs two different functions of safeguarding
customer programmed data. The first involves storing the configuration
database in the unlikely event of an system failure - such as a continuous
SYSLOAD or INI - or data corruption. To correct this problem, the backup
copy of the configuration database can be restored to the Option 11C or
Option 11C Mini.
