2.9 Backup Restore

1600 Series H323 IP Telephones support using a HTTP server as the location to which they can backup and restore user

specific data. These options are used if the location of the HTTP server for backup/restore has been specified in the phone

46xxsettings file.

·The address of the HTTP server for backup/restore operation is separate from the address of the HTTP server used

for phone firmware files downloads.

·The HTTP server being used for backup/restore will require configuration changes to allow the phones to send files

to it.

·For IP Office 5.0, the IP Office memory card can be used as the location for backup/restore of user settings. That

includes file auto generation . When using auto-generation, some settings within the restore file are based on

the user's IP Office settings.

Backup is used when the phone user logs out of the phone. During the log out process, the phone creates a file containing

the user specific data and sends that to the BRURI location. The file is named with the user's extension number and

_16xxdata.txt, for example 299_16xxdata.txt.

Restore is used when a user logs in at the phone. The phone sends a file request for the appropriate file based on the

users extension number. If the file is successfully retrieved the phone will import the settings and, after a "Retrieval OK"

message, continue as normal. If the file cannot be retrieved, a "Retrieval failed" message is displayed and the phone will

continues with its existing settings.

1.Open the 46xxsettings.txt file.

2.Locate the line containing the SET BRURI value.

3.If the line is prefixed with # characters, remove those and any space.

4.After SET BRURI, enter a space and then the address of the HTTP backup server, for example SET BRURI

http://192.168.0.28. If necessary you can specify the path to a specific server directory and or include a specific

port number, for example SET BRURI http://192.168.0.28/backups:8080.

HTTP authentication can be supported. If set it will be used for both the backup and the restore operations. The

authentication credentials and realm are stored in the phone's reprogrammable non-volatile memory, which is not

overwritten when new telephone software is downloaded.

Both the authentication credentials and realm have a default values of null. If the HTTP server requires authentication, the

user is prompted to enter new credentials using the phone. If the authentication is successful, the values used are stored

and used for subsequent backup and restore operations.

Users can request a backup or restore using the Advanced Options Backup/Restore screen as detailed in the user guide for

their specific telephone model.
