Installing an Alternate Database
The software CD has two databases on it that you can use instead of the
factory-installed default database. One is blank except for the IP settings in
Form 47 which are the same as those in the default database; the other is
for use with Premier Business systems. Another that has four-digit extension
numbers is available on Mitel Online. You can also install databases that
were programmed on other systems and backed up to a file.
To install an alternate database either:
• Re-install the system software and the required database to a
CompactFlash card, and then use the card to re-initialize the
controller. For more information, see “Installing Software Using an
External CompactFlash Card (Optional Initial Install)” on page 35.
Or
• Download the database to the controller via an FTP server.
Installing an alternate database via FTP
Before beginning the installation, Check that the FTP server IP address,
username, and password in Form 47 are correct.
1. Establish a connection between the FTP server and the controller
either through the Layer 2 switch or by connecting directly to the LAN
port on the controller.
2. Copy the required .db file to the FTP server’s home directory.
3. Follow the instructions on page 204 to restore the database to the
controller.
Notes:
1. To avoid MOSS option conflicts, install the Premier database
BEFORE enabling the MOSS options.
2. Advanced certification is required to install a Premier Business
system.
