2.2 File

2.2.1 File—New

Creates a new system data file, used to program the PBX in Batch mode. All settings are in their initial or default state.
This option is only available at Installer level.
To upload the file created here to the SD memory card installed in the PBX, see 2.5.2 Utility—File Transfer PC to PBX (SD Card).
Note
Since selecting this option creates a blank system data file, uploading this file to the PBX will overwrite all previous settings. Use only when necessary.

To create a new system data file

1. From the File menu, select New.
2. Click the appropriate model number.
3. Select whether an EMEC (KX-TDA600) or MEC (KX-TDA50/KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200) card is installed or not.
4. Click OK.

2.2.2 File—Open

Opens a system data file previously saved on the PC, and enters Batch mode.
When opening a file created with an older version of the Maintenance Console, you will be asked whether you want to convert the data for use with the current version or not. Using the data without converting may result in some data being loaded to an incorrect destination, and is not recommended.
For more details regarding file conversion, see 2.4.11 Tool—System Data Convert (KX-TDA50/KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200 only).
If the file is not supported by the PBX (e.g. a system data file from an incompatible PBX), it will not be opened. The only files that can be opened are files that were created by the Maintenance Console for a supported PBX.
To upload a file opened here to the SD memory card installed in the PBX, see 2.5.2 Utility—File Transfer PC to PBX (SD Card).

If the file was created with an older version of the Maintenance Console, you will be asked if you want to convert the data.
• Click Yes to convert the data for use with the current version of the Maintenance Console.
