							5.6Save/Restore
Database’  This feature saves a database externally from the DXP to a file in
DOS; Restore allows you to transfer a database DOS file into a DXP
or into a PCMMI program. Also, you can use this feature anytime to
back up the stored programming as a security measure. Employ a’
personal computer with an XMODEM communications program to
store the database on a magnetic diskette and reload it from the
diskette after software upgrades.
NOTE: The amount of PC RAM required to operate PCMMI
depends upon the version of PCMMI 
that you are running.
You may have to alter your Configsys and Autoexec.bat
file in order to free up enough conventional RAM for
PCMMI.The saved and reloaded database includes the following data:
-system information,
- station parameters,
- line parameters,
-toll restriction and automatic route selection parameters,
-and system speed dial numbers
The saved and reloaded database does not include the 
SMDABMDRrecords. If you need these 
SMDABMDR records, you must make a
printout of them before you perform the database storage because this
save/restore feature does not record the stored records, and they will
be lost.
During programming, the system stores feature data at several places
in its database. To ensure that a database save procedure includes all
of a feature’s stored data, the system saves the entire database
whenever you perform the save/restore database programming
procedure.

							DXP Correspondence ManualSystem ProgrammingNOTE: The system will take an additional two to three minutes to
power up 
after it receives ACpower because of the timerequired for the database restore processing. Also note
that in 
PCMMIprogramming, this selection allows you to
save a copy of the database to a 
DOSfile. You should save
frequently when you are working on a program, since loss
of power or exiting the PCMMI program deletes anychanges showing on the screen.

							System Programming
DXP Correspondence Manual5.7The DXP provides two main serial data ports on the CPU board and
Serial Ports
!four auxiliary serial ports on each DXOPT-COM communications
card. The DXOPT-COM cards are installed onto the DXAUX
auxiliary circuit board. Since a DXAUX board accepts two.DXOPT-COM cards and the system accepts two DXAUX boards, the
DXP can provide a maximum of 16 auxiliary serial data ports.
Every serial data port provides an RS232 interface that you can use for
such things as VDT, modem, and data printer connection (for modem
information, see the paragraph entitled 
‘Modern Setup” within this
section). The system recognizes the serial data ports by unique number
identifiers (see the paragraph on auxiliary data ports on the following
pa&.On the serial data ports menu you set the data communications
parameters of the serial data ports. The serial data parameters that you
set using this procedure remain in effect until you reprogram them.
The settings will not change even if you perform a master clear of the
system (unless you use the switched master clear method detailed in
Section 5.2; With that procedure, the system also defaults its serial
data ports).
NOTE: The main serial data ports are high-speed data ports that
are programmable to 9600 baud.f

							Auxiliary Serial Data PortsThe main serial data ports are 1 and 2, and the serial data ports on the
first DXAUX board are 3-6 (upper slot) and 7-10 (lower slot). The
serial data ports on the second DXAUX board are 11-14 (upper slot)
and 15-18 (lower slot). The port numbering of the auxiliary serial data
ports is fixed. Notice on the screen below that the baud rates for the
auxiliary data ports are defaulted to 2400; however, you can program
them to 9600 baud. Also, there is an additional column telling you
whether the DXOPT-COM card is installed.
NOTE: The auxiliary board can support one device for 9600 baud
transmit and receive at any given time. If you programmultiple serial ports for any rate above 1200 baud and
more than one of those ports is active in the same direction
at the same time, the effective thoughput may be less than
the set value.

							Modem SetupThe system supports the operation of the DXMDM serial data.mo.dem.
The DXMDM is a general-purpose, Hayes*-compatible, 300, 1200,
and 2400 automatic baud detect, serial data modem that receives its
operating power and configuration programming from the DXP
system. After you install and connect the DXMDM, you must
program the modem port number into the system memory. Since the
serial data port default for both the modem and the SMDR serial data
printer is main port 2, it is a good practice to choose a different
modem port if the site employs both devices.
Regardless of which port you choose for modem connection, the
system arranges for that port to automatically match the baud rate and
serial data parameters of the modem.

SOHVA Tab/e
ProgrammingSOHVA GroupsSubdued Off-Hook Voice Announce (SOHVA) allows a telephone
user to break in on any call that is in progress on another extension
without his or her voice being heard by the outside party. SOHVA
calling groups control the pattern in which station ports receive and/or
originate SOHVA calls to one another. You must first form the
SOHVA groups and then assign the groups to individual stations. (See
section 7.17 for information on assigning various SOHVA groups to
individual stations.)
You can organize individual stations into as many as 16 different
SOHVA groups.
When a station is assigned to a SOHVA group, it can transmit and
receive SOHVA messages to and from other telephones in that group.
Also, you can give or deny each SOHVA group the ability to transmit
or receive SOHVA messages from other SOHVA groups.
Make sure you keep track of the SOHVA groups you program and
their various capabilities; use the chart provided in 
IMI66-088,Programming Records for the DXP Digital Communications System;
this publication lists the 
DXP’s SOHVA group default settings.
At default, group 16 has the ability to send and receive 
SOHVAs to
any group; all other groups have the ability to send and receive
SOHVAs within their group and to group 16 only.

Speed Dial
ProgrammingThe system provides 500 system speed dial numbers (200 speed dials
on DXP rev. 4 and earlier), which are outside telephone numbers that
any DXP user can access by pressing a three-digit dialing code.
.
System Speed Dial GroupsThe system divides 500 system speed dial numbers into 50 groups
with 10 numbers available in each group. Each screen represents a
speed dial group. Assign none, one, or a range of groups (n-nn) to
each station class of service (see section 6.26 for more information).
System Speed DialUse this programming feature to provide a list of 500 speed dial
numbers to all stations in the system. Under the preselect column,
choose the prime line/last line used or designate the line or line group
that the system will automatically select for speed dialing. If you
choose a line or line group, you must enter that number under the line
or line group number column. Store up to 32 digits including 1-9, 
+I+,
#, Hookflash signaling “f,” and pauses “p.”
Also refer to section 6.26 for more speed dial information.
Beginning with software release 
8.B, you can choose the intercom to
be automatically selected for speed dialing. This enhancement allows
you to store intercom selections along with feature codes as speed dial
numbers.

							Speed Dial SetsA speed dial set is a group of 10 speed dial locations. The system
allocates three speed dial sets to each telephone as a default, but you
can allocate up to 10 sets to a telephone if you wish. When a
DSWBLF console is operated as a companion to a telephone, you can
allocate speed dial sets at the companion telephone that the system
will then share with the console. The system reserves one speed dial
set for the telephone’s dial pad buttons O-9 (see section 7.5 for
information on setting speed dial sets on individual stations).
