From the System Manager Options Menu, select Restore Messaging System.


Note:
  • If any voice messaging ports are in use at the time a restore request is made, the restore request is rejected.

If the PC Card backup data is valid, the MERLIN Messaging System displays the date and time of the backup and prompts you to indicate if you want to continue.

Following system restore, return to the System Manager Options Menu.

When the restore process is complete, the MERLIN Messaging System displays one of the following messages (depending on the outcome of the backup process).

MERLIN Messaging System Display Messages for Unsuccessful Restore
Message Condition
"PC Card is absent" There is no PC Card in the PCMCIA slot
"Cannot perform Restore, PC Card could not be read" The PC Card cannot be recognized as a valid card
"Cannot perform Restore, PC Card does not contain a valid backup"

The data on the card fails integrity and validity checks

 

In each of these cases, the MERLIN Messaging System aborts the restore and returns to the System Managers Options Menu.
