Backup Programming—Manual (#124)
Description
The backup of system and telephone programming is optional, but
recommended, especially if you are changing the processor module or
upgrading the system, or before and after any major programming changes.
This System Programming procedure manually backs up all the programming
(except the system date, day, and time) to a Backup/Restore PC Card.
Related Features
Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System Time
(#103) are set correctly. These settings are not backed up.
You can use Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) if you prefer. If so,
backups are done automatically at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month.
You can also use both methods, performing manual backups between the
scheduled monthly backups.
Once the system and telephone programming settings have been backed
up to a PC Card, you can use the Restore Programming (#125) procedure
to restore the settings if they become corrupted. You can also use Restore
Programming (#125) to verify the date on a backup file.
Considerations
To perform either manual or automatic backups, purchase a
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies.
Before inserting the Backup/Restore PC Card in PC Card Slot 2, power
down the system. After inserting the PC Card, power up the system again.
For instructions, see "Inserting or Removing a PC Card" in this section.
You must have a Backup/Restore PC Card in the PC Card slot before a
backup can take place. It is recommended that you leave the
Backup/Restore PC Card in PC Card Slot 2.
Slot 2 is recommended for the Backup/Restore PC Card; however, either
slot can be used. If 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, since the data is recorded in two separate files. An
automatic backup replaces the AUTO. mmddyy file only (where mmddyy
represents the date of the backup in month, day, year format) , and a manual
backup replaces the MAN .mmddyy file only. Restore Programming (#125)
asks you to specify which backup file you want to use.
To save your previous system and telephone programming settings as well
as the current ones, use another Backup/Restore PC Card for the second
backup. By alternating the cards, you can keep the most recent two
backups. Remember to power down the system before removing or
inserting the Backup/Restore PC Card.
Calls will continue to be handled normally during a manual backup.
