3COM VCX IP TELEPHONY

1 SERVER

 

This chapter describes how to configure the features that are

 

associated with the VCX IP Telephony Server.

 

 

Saving the 3Com

The 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server configuration can be saved to a CFM

VCX IP Telephony

file. After saving the configuration, the CFM file can be set as a baseline

Server

so it can be used for restoring. A backup produces a (binary) CFM file

Configuration in

containing a snapshot of the system configurables (basically, any object

EMS

that is SNMP manageable on all components). This does not include

 

databases, user profiles, voice mail backup, etc. It is basically just the

 

system configuration available via SNMP.

 

To save the 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server configuration in EMS:

 

1 From the Explorer tab, right-click3Com VCX IP Telephony Server.

 

2 From the pop-up menu, select Configuration and then select Backup.

 

The progress is shown in the Job Progress section of the EMS GUI.

 

When the save is finished, the Working icon changes to a Finished icon.

 

The default directory for .CFM files is: ...3Com\EMS\backups. The file

 

name is saved as follows: <component IP

 

address>_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.cfm. For example,

 

192.168.120.110_20051029185959.cfm.

 

 

Restoring the 3Com

The 3Com VCX IP Telephony Server configuration can be restored from a

VCX IP Telephony

saved CFM file. The CFM file restores any SNMP manageable system

Server

configurables. It automatically chooses the correct CFM file to restore to

Configuration in

the same server the backup was taken from. A backup cannot be applied

EMS

from one server to another.
