Assigned DNs

The Assigned DNs tabbed panel displays the DN properties for lines that are assigned to telephones.

This information can also be configured on the DN record. Any information added, deleted or modified in this table reflects in the DN record.

Note: Lines that do not allow single-line assignment, such as PRI lines and VoIP lines, will not display this tabbed panel.

Restoring system data

If the programming of lines and extensions is incorrect, you can restore from an archive file, or you can restore the system to factory defaults. This section provides the procedures to follow to restore system data from an archive file, and to restore factory defaults. For information about the effects of performing a restore operation, or about optional components, see the BCM450 Administration and Security Guide (NN40160-601)

Restoring data from an archive

Caution: A backup operation can interrupt services running on the BCM450. A warning displays whenever the backup will cause a service interruption. If you want to perform a backup that does not affect the system, you can exclude services that would be affected. Alternatively, you can include these services and perform a backup at a time when the system is typically not in use.

To restore data from an archive

1In the task panel, click the Administration tab.

2Open the Backup and Restore folder, and then click Restore.

The Restore panel opens. The Restore From selection field has BCM as a default value.

3In the Restore From selection field, select the location of the archive file to restore:

BCM

My Computer

Network folder

FTP server

SFTP server

USB storage device

Factory Default

4Click the Restore button.

The Select Components to Restore window opens.
