Importing Rules
When the Net Phone program starts up, it automatically imports rules from the
compiled NET_PHN.RUL rules file plus all rule files (*.RUx) it finds in its startup
folder. The last character used in the file name extension defines how the rule file is
treated when importing:
• .RUI – These files are individual rules created by exporting. These will be
imported only when a rule using the same name does not exist in the compiled file.
Thus, when this file exists and the user made changes to this rule, the user can
revert back to the original operation by deleting the current rule in Net Phone then
stopping and restarting Net Phone.
• .RU1 – Upon startup, Net Phone always imports rules from all “One-Shot” rule
files (*.RU1). When a rule with the same name exists, the rule will be overwritten.
Once imported, the One-Shot export file is deleted. These one-shot files can thus
be used to import a rule just one time allowing the user to change or delete the rule
as desired.
• .RUO – Upon startup, Net Phone always imports all “Over-Write” rule files,
which overwrites any rule of the same name. These files can be useful to ensure
the rules do not get changed or when wanting to make the same update on other
Net Phones.
• .RU0 – These are another type of rule file that is imported only at initial startup of
the program or when the compiled rules file “AGT_PHN.RUL” is not found at
startup.
These types of files allow you to design a rule, export it, rename as needed and then
copy the exported file to all PCs that need that rule. These are also useful to overcome
a user accidentally deleting a rule, since exiting and restarting Net Phone will restore
that rule.
