Loading a Configuration

Manager can be used to load configuration settings directly from a running IP Office system or from a configuration file previously saved on the PC.

1. Click in the main toolbar or select File | Open Configuration from the menu bar.

2. The Select IP Office window appears, listing those IP Office systems that responded. The list can be sorted by clicking on the column names.
   

3. • If the system required was not found, the address used for the search can be changed. Enter or select the required address in the Unit/Broadcast Address field and then click Refresh to perform a new search.

   • Pre-3.2 IP Office Systems:
     The name must match a Manager operator and the password must match the IP Office system's system password. If the name does not match a Manager operator, the config will still be loaded by using the Guest (read-only) operator.
