Backup/Restore for 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW and 4625SW IP Telephones
Issue 2.2 April 2005 97
Backup/Restore for 4610SW, 4620/4620SW, 4621SW,
4622SW and 4625SW IP Telephones
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, 4621SW, 4622SW, or 4625SW IP Telephone is set to Yes and
FTPSRVR is specified, the FTPSTOR command attempts to save all Speed Dial contents, all
system options, and non-password parameters to the FTP server specified by FTPSRVR.
Data is saved in a text file called ext_4610data.txt or ext_4620data.txt, as appropriate to the
telephone type, where ext stands for the telephone extension. The 4621SW, 4622SW, and
4625SW all use “4620” as the telephone type for purposes of the Backup/Restore filename, to
allow seamless upgrades from 4620s if applicable.
The system administrator can optionally set the backup option and specify FTPSRVR through
network administration. A phone user can also specify these values, as covered in Chapter 6 of
the appropriate User Guide for the telephone type. Automatic backup occurs whenever the user
executes a Save command on a Speed Dial or Options/Parameter screen.
Note:
Note: Users can specify alternate servers and directories, for example, their own PCs,
for backups and retrievals.
The 4610SW/4620/4620SW/4621SW/4622SW/4625SW backup/restore file can
contain ASCII, Extended ASCII, and non-ASCII characters. However, if the file
contains non-ASCII characters, specifically Cyrillic, Hebrew, Katakana, Han, or
Hiragana characters, the file must be stored in UTF-8 form. The 4610SW/4620/
4620SW/4621SW/4622SW/4625SW creates a file in this form automatically. But
if you opt to create a backup/restore file yourself or 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 regardless of how your editor stores the data file, the
telephone can read the contents. If you fail to insert the blank line, the first line of data
might be ignored. The 4620 and 4625SW do not support display of Cyrillic, Hebrew,
Han, or Hiragana characters. Even the 4610SW/4620SW/4621SW/4622SW cannot
support all Han or Hiragana characters. If you insert a character that the 4610SW/
4620SW/4621SW/4622SW does not support, the display shows that character as a
rectangle.
