Importing and exporting configuration data

You have the possibility to edit various configuration data outside WebAdmin, or to import configuration
data from other MiVoice Office 400 series communication systems. Here you can create, with the help
of the export function, a specific Excel file hereinafter referred to as Export file. The export file contains
several spreadsheets. Each sheet covers a specific configuration area. Subsequently, edit then re-import
the export file. Only the data belonging to the view, on which you have activated the import function, will
be imported. Example: The import function in the Phone book / Public view imports only the data from the
export file located on the spreadsheet Abbreviated dialling list.
Exception: The export function in the Backup view imports the data in all spreadsheets.
You can find the export function in the following views:
• Overview (user data and key configuration of the terminals)
• Abbreviated dialling numbers
• PISN user
• Time controlled functions
• Ext./Int. Allocation
• LCR
•
Blacklist
• CLIP based routing
• Data backup
Note:
You can activate the Replace existing configuration option with the import function. Activate this
function only if you are setting up the communication server from scratch. This action deletes
all previously configured user data and all user associated settings such as DDI numbers, CDE
targets, user group entries, assigned phones, configured keys, etc.

registration.
Use these procedures in the following cases:
• Assigning the phone to another user on the same system
• Transferring the phone to another system with the same software release
• Changing the software release to an earlier release
• Changing the communication server IP address
