Database Administration – Via PC-DBA
The DX-80 system allows the installer/technician to administer system database parameters via an IBM
Personal Computer. The use of a PC has distinct advantages over programming the system via the digital telephone,
including: specific database archiving (via save function), remote programming, outboard programming (program the
system template into the PC memory then send it to the DX-80 when ready). The PC program that interfaces with the
DX-80 system is PC-DBA (PC-Database Administration).
PC-DBA requires the following resources in the PC environment:
•
PC running DOS (PC-DBA can be run in a DOS Window but performance can be impacted by other Windows
modules. We do not warranty or guarantee any level of performance in the Windows environment.)
•
640k minimum RAM
•
386 minimum microprocessor
•
2 megabytes minimum space on the hard disk
Important Notice:
PC-DBA is available via the Comdial Web page at www.comdial.com. This software is
not available by any other means. Use of this DX-80 utility requires a well-rounded understanding of the PC
environment and the DOS file structure. The manufacturer and/or supplier of PC-DBA cannot support users
who are unfamiliar with these basic requirements. If any of these issues concern you, please use Database
Administration via Any Digital Extension.

as the "working directory.")
2. Copy the archive file into that directory and then executive the un-archive process.
