Delete phones using custom file
You can create a custom file of phones that you want to delete using a text editor. You can have MAC addresses
and device names in the same custom file, but you cannot have directory numbers in the same file. You need
to create separate files—one file that contains the device names and MAC addresses and another file that
contains the directory numbers.
Do not use the insert or export transaction files that are created with bat.xlt for the delete transaction.
Instead, you must create a custom file with details of the phone records that need to be deleted. Use only
this file for the delete transaction.
Note
The delete action is final. You cannot retrieve deleted records.Caution
