Backup/Restore for 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW and 4625SW IP Telephones

Note that you can:

set APPSTAT to 1, for example, in a staging area,

administer a given telephone with Speed Dial entries of your choice, like the Concierge Speed Dial button in an earlier example,

then move the telephone to where it will be used, where you have administered APPSTAT to be, say, 0 (zero).

When the relocated telephone resets, it retains its Speed Dial entries, like Concierge, but does not allow the user to create new entries.

When you set APPSTAT to any valid value other than 1, the telephone does not accept any Speed Dial button label changes that might have been made directly on an FTP backup file. Only the telephone’s existing labels are used. This restriction prevents circumvention of the APPSTAT restrictions.

APPSTAT has no effect on telephones having no user-selectable applications such as the 4602. Also, to “suppress” the WML applications, all you have to do is not administer the appropriate parameters. In essence, these applications are suppressed by default.

Backup/Restore for 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW and 4625SW IP Telephones

Backup/Restore automatically saves a telephone’s Speed Dial button labels and options/ parameter settings, including local Feature button labels. When the Automatic Backup option on a 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW, or 4625SW IP Telephone is set to Yes and FTPSRVR is specified, the FTPSTOR command attempts to save all Speed Dial contents, all system options, and non-password parameters to the FTP server specified by FTPSRVR.

For H.323 telephones, data is saved in a text file called ext_4610data.txt or ext_4620data.txt, as appropriate to the telephone type, where ext stands for the telephone extension. For SIP telephones, data is saved in a text file called ext_4610data_sip.txt or ext_4620data_sip.txt, as appropriate to the telephone type. The 4621SW, 4622SW, and 4625SW all use “4620” as the telephone type for purposes of the Backup/Restore filename, to allow seamless upgrades from 4620s if applicable.

The system administrator can optionally set the backup option and specify FTPSRVR through network administration. A telephone user can also specify these values, as covered in Chapter 6 of the appropriate User Guide for the telephone type. Automatic backup occurs whenever the user executes a Save command on a Speed Dial or Options/Parameter screen.
