Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Backup Programming-Automatic #123

Backup Programming—Automatic (#123)

Backup Programming—Automatic (#123)

Description

The backup of system and telephone programming is optional, but recommended. This System Programming procedure determines whether the automatic backup of all programming (except the system date, day, and time) occurs or not. The default setting is Not Active. When Backup Programming—Automatic is set to Active, the information is backed up at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month (determined by the system date and time settings) to a Backup/Restore PC Card.

If Backup Programming—Automatic is Active and an automatic backup fails, a Backup-Failure Alarm message appears (instead of the system date and time) on the top line of the telephone display at idle extension 10 or 11. If the message is: Backup Failed IC, see the note that follows.

NOTE:

If an ASA/DXD or PARTNER Voice Mail PC card is in use, remove the card (see PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions for removing and inserting PC cards). Perform Backup Programming—Manual (#124) as described in the following section. Deactivate automatic backup to prevent this from reoccurring.

If any other message is displayed, see Chapter 6, ‘‘Troubleshooting,’’ for suggested corrective actions, and for the procedure for clearing the Backup-Failure Alarm message.

Related Features

■Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System Time (#103) are set correctly, so that the automatic backup occurs at the correct time. These settings are not backed up.

■ You can use Backup Programming—Manual (#124) in place of or to supplement the automatic backups, if desired.

■Once the system and telephone programming settings have been backed up to a PC Card, you can use the Restore Programming (#125) procedure to restore the settings if they become corrupted. You can also use Restore Programming (#125) to verify the date on a backup file.

Considerations

■To perform either automatic or manual backups, purchase a Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. If the PC Card has not been installed, see the PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions.

■Whenever the setting for Backup Programming—Automatic is changed from Not Active to Active, a backup will occur at the next occurrence of 2:00 a.m. After that, backups will be done at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month until the setting is changed back to Not Active.
