31 System Settings Import / Export
System Administrators will be able to transfer settings from one server to another by
exporting the settings from one and importing them into the other. This will ease the
task of upgrading a site from one Allworx server model to another model.
Not all settings transfer in this way. Import/Export is not a substitute for using Allworx
OfficeSafe to backup the system.
31.1 Export
An export will include all configurable parameters for:
• Business Settings
• Users
• System extensions
• Handsets
• Allworx Port Expander (including
all attached analog phones and
CO lines)
• Outside lines:
• CO Lines
• Digital Lines
• SIP Gateways
• SIP Proxies
• DID blocks and routing
• Digital line configurations
• User Templates
• Handset Preference Groups
• Dialing Privileges Groups
• Network configurations
• VoIP server settings
To export settings:
1. Navigate to Maintenance > Import / Export.
1. Go to the Export Configuration section and select from the following
optional configuration settings:
• Phone System Settings
• Network Settings
• VoIP Server Settings
• SIP Proxy Settings
2. Click Export to export the selected configurations. This will place the current
system settings into an XML file.
3. Click the View link to save the exported XML file for import on to another
system. 0.
The server that is to receive the imported configuration settings should be
“clean”, meaning none of the above configurations have been added to the
system prior to import. Update the internal dial plan and extension length to
match the imported configuration before doing the import.
