4610SW/4620/4620SW Backup/Restore

Backup/Restore automatically saves a phone’s speed dial button labels and options/parameter settings (including local Feature Button labels). When the Automatic Backup option on a 4610SW/4620/4620SW IP Telephone is set to Yes and the FTPSRVR is specified, the FTPSTOR command attempts to save all Speed Dial contents and all system options and (non-password) parameters to the FTP server (specified by FTPSRVR). Data is saved in a text file called 4610data.txt or 4620data.txt as appropriate for the telephone type. The System Administrator may optionally specify FTPSRVR via network administration, however, these values may also be specified by the phone’s user, as covered in Chapter 6 of the 4620/4620SW IP Telephone User’s Guide or the 4610SW IP Telephone User’s Guide. Automatic backup occurs whenever the user executes a Save command on a Speed Dial or Options/Parameter screen.


NOTE:	Users have the ability to specify alternate servers and directories (e.g., their own PCs) for backup and retrievals. The 4610SW/4620/4620SW backup/restore file can contain ASCII (and Extended ASCII) and non-ASCII characters. However, if the file contains non-ASCII characters, specifically Cyrillic, Katakana, Han, or Hiragana characters, the file must be stored in UTF-8 form. The 4610SW/4620/4620SW will create a file in this form automatically, but if you choose to create a backup/restore file yourself, or if you edit this file, you must do both of the following: 1.) Insert a blank line at the beginning of the file, and 2.) Save the file in UTF-8 format. These precautions ensure that however your editor stores the data file, the 4610SW/4620/4620SW will be able to read the contents. If you fail to insert the blank line, the first line of data may be ignored. The 4610SW and 4620 do not support display of Cyrillic, Han or Hiragana characters, and even the 4620SW cannot support all Han or Hiragama characters. If you insert a character that the 4620SW does not support, that character will be shown as a rectangle on the display.

In addition to Speed Dial labels and associated phone numbers, the following options, settings and non-password parameters are saved during a backup:

Setting/Parameter Name	Type
Personalized Ring	Option (4620/4620SW only)

NOTE:	When the Options Status Flag, OPSTAT, is set to 0 (see Table 4-7), retrieving backed up data has no effect. This prevents a user from bypassing the administration of OPSTAT and changing options settings in the backup file.
