2.4.7 Tool—Import

Allows several types of system data files or tables to be imported.
Except for Speed Dial and Caller ID, this option is only available at Installer level.

Unsupported file types cannot be opened. PS Registration (KX-TDA600 only) files are saved with the extension ".kex" by default.
For all tables except ARS - Routing Plan and PS Registration (KX-TDA600 only), it is possible to edit the CSV file directly using an appropriate editor, before importing.
The types of data that can be imported using this tool, and the matching destination fields, are as follows:

5. For the Feature - Speed Dial and Caller ID table, when an EMEC (KX-TDA600) or MEC (KX-TDA50/KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200) card is installed, select the Speed Dial table to which to import the data (KX-TDA50: Basic Memory or Expanded Memory; KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200/KX-TDA600: system or tenant) from the drop-down list.

If data in a field being imported does not match the required format for the import destination, an error message will be displayed when the import operation is attempted, and the operation will be canceled.
This can occur when, for example, the destination field can only accept numeric data, but the data being imported contains alphabet characters, as the correct fields were not linked together.

2.4.8 Tool—Export

Allows several types of system data to be exported to files. These files can be used with the Import tool (see 2.4.7 Tool—Import) to update another PBX.
Except for ARS - Routing Plan and PS Registration (KX-TDA600 only), tables are exported as comma-separated value (CSV) files.
Except for Speed Dial and Caller ID, this option is only available at Installer level.
Note
The separator used in CSV files created using the Export tool is decided by the unit specified in List Separator, in the Windows Regional Options Control Panel.

Converts system data (DSYS/DSSYS) files created with a previous version of the Maintenance Console for use with the currently loaded version.
This option is only available when the Maintenance Console is in Initial mode.
It is necessary to convert system data to use it with a version of the Maintenance Console other than the version that saved that data. This is because each new version of the Maintenance Console adds new options and settings that are not saved by older versions.
Note
When upgrading from a system without an MEC card installed to a system with an MEC card installed, after converting the system data using this utility, it is necessary to pre-install the MEC card by setting lozenge.gifMemory Expansion Card: on the 2.7.3 [1-1] Slot—MPR Card Property screen to PreInstall.
