Send Config.cfg file from earlier version to IP Office SE 11.1 1

[Craft01]

Hi There,

I have an IP OFFICE 406 V2 running 4.2, is it possible to save the configuration (File/Save Configuration As) then send (File/Offline/Send Conf)it to a new IP Office R11.1?

Your thoughts appreciated, and thanks in advance.

You could , but I wouldn't advise it. You would be better off exporting everything you can and import it into the new IPO. Too many field changes between those versions.

Hi

From File> Import/Export> Export..., Settings are exported Binary Files or CSV Text Files.

I can see that CSV File Formats allow to experot only Configuration, User, Directory , Group ,Short Code , License. But Bianry Formats seems exporting everything. So do you suggest Export as Binary Format no CSV? and according to your experience, no problem of expote from 4.2 to 11.1 ??


Thanks.

I would do it with CSV. Binary would pose the same problems with the fields not matching up. Even the CSV may not be properly formatted. I would hope that when you try to import if R11 didn't like them it wouldn't recognize them for import.

Thanks for the reply, I will try .CSV and BINARY.

HI
I just tested the two ways, they lead to the same results, So I deduce the following:

.CSV is for those who want to edit BIG configuration, especially the list of users, ShortCode, Directory, HuntGroup.

Binary is to move same conf from system A to system B. a backup/restore way.


Your input is valued!
Thanks in advance.
