SYSTEM BACKUP FOR DEFINITY G3s
The backup system for the DEFINITY G3s system employs a Memory Card. It does not have a
duplication option. In case of a power failure, the system translations and
be restored using the Memory Card.
Save Translation
announcements can
Translation data can be routinely saved every 24 hours. However, if your translation data
changes frequently, you should also save translations frequently to assure that you have the
most up-to-date information. You should also alternate the Memory Cards.
Warnings:
“save translation” should not be performed if any Memory Card alarm condi-
tions occur or if the system is having problems.
It is recommended that “save translation” be performed after business hours so
dial tone delays will not be encountered.
Save and Restore Recorded Announcements
Enter the
save announcements
command to save the recorded announcements in the system
on the system Memory Cards.
Note:
A 4 Mb Memory Card is required to save and restore announcements.
The system takes about 30 minutes to complete this task. Because the administration terminal is
unavailable during this time, it is recommended that this command be used after business hours.
During this time period, the administration terminal cannot be used to administer the system until
the transfer is complete; however, all other administration terminals, if provided, are allowed to
perform administration procedures.
Enter the
restore announcements
command to restore the recorded announcements from the
Memory Card back into system memory. The system takes about 22 minutes to complete this
task.
The system performs an audit to make sure that the number of announcements on
the announcement board match the announcements administered in the switch.
The working copy of the announcements are stored on the announcement board. You should
also make a backup copy on a 4 Mb Memory Card.
Backup for a G3s System
One Memory Card is provided with the system. It is recommended that you purchase additional
cards.
It is recommended that backup copies of the translation data be made weekly, or
after many changes have been made to the translation data.
This will minimize the loss of recent
translation data changes if the Memory Card in the system becomes damaged.
