Chapter 6: Backup and Restore

The 3631 telephone supports multiple options for backup and restore of a subset of user

data. These options include the following:

• Automated backup/restore over-the-air to/from an FTP server

• Manually initiated restore over-the-air from an FTP server

• Manual backup/restore to/from a PC via a USB cable

Parameters for over-the-air backup/restore are specified through the phone user interface

(or via the 46xxsettings.txt file). These parameters include the following:

• FTP server IP address (FTPSRVR)

• FTP directory (FTPDIR)

• FTP username/password

The 3631 telephone supports the following two backup files:

• Ext_96xxdata.txt

– where Ext is user’s extension (e.g., 22335_96xxdata.txt)

• Ext_96xxcalllog.txt

The 3631 telephone may share its _96xxdata.txt file with 96xx IP telephones. The file

must be stored in a common directory, accessible to both FTP (3631) and HTTP (96xx)

servers.
