28 System Settings Import / Export
System Administrators will be able to transfer settings from one server to another by exporting the settings
from one and importing them into the other. This will ease the task of upgrading a site from one Allworx
server model to another model.
Not all settings can be transferred in this way. Import/Export is not a substitute for using Allworx OfficeSafe to
backup the system. The following is a list of the settings that can be exported and imported:
An export will include all configurable parameters for:
• Users
• System extensions
• Allworx handsets
• Analog phones
• Allworx Port Expander (including all attached analog phones and CO lines)
• Outside lines:
o CO Lines
o Digital Lines
o SIP Gateways
o SIP Proxies
• DID blocks and routing
• Digital line configurations
• User Privilege Groups
• Handset Preference Groups
• Dialing Privilege Groups
To export configuration settings, select the Export button. This will place the current system settings into an
XML file. Next, click the View
link to save the exported XML file for import on to another system.
The server that is to receive the imported configuration settings should be “clean”, meaning none of the
above configurations have been added to the system prior to import. Update the internal dial plan and
extension length to match the configuration being imported before the import is performed.
To load the exported configuration settings of one server onto another, enter the full pathname of the XML file
into the Load a configuration file field and then select the Load button.
