Save/Restore

Database

’ This feature saves a database externally from the DXP to a file in

DOS; Restore allows you to transfer a database DOS file into a DXP

or into a PCMMI program. Also, you can use this feature anytime to

back up the stored programming as a security measure. Employ a’

personal computer with an XMODEM communications program to

store the database on a magnetic diskette and reload it from the

diskette after software upgrades.

NOTE: The amount of PC RAM required to operate PCMMI

depends upon the version of PCMMI

that

you are running.

You may have to alter your

Configsys

and Autoexec.bat

file

in order to free up enough conventional

RAM

for

PCMMI.

The saved and reloaded database includes the following data:

system information,

station parameters,

line parameters,

toll restriction and automatic route selection parameters,

and system speed dial numbers

The saved and reloaded database does not include the

SMDABMDR

records. If you need these

SMDABMDR

records, you must make a

printout of them before you perform the database storage because this

save/restore feature does not record the stored records, and they will

be lost.

During programming, the system stores feature data at several places

in its database. To ensure that a database save procedure includes all

of a feature’s stored data, the system saves the entire database

whenever you perform the save/restore database programming

procedure.
