NBX System Database
The NBX system database contains a default dial plan that is initially
loaded at the factory and is reloaded if you purge the database.
■
NBX V3000 system — default 4-digit plan
■
SuperStack 3 NBX system — default 4-digit plan
■
NBX 100 — default 3-digit plan
Changes that you make to any system settings, including changes made
by importing a modified dial plan configuration file, are stored in the
database. When you reboot the system, it loads the database with any
changes that you have made. The NBX system database includes all of
the settings necessary for system operation.
NBX System Dial Plan
You can import a dial plan configuration file to provide the system with a
set of operating instructions for managing the telephone system.
Alternatively, if you have made changes to the currently loaded
instructions through the NBX NetSet utility, you can export the dial plan
configuration file to save it. You can also make changes by editing the
configuration file off-system, using any ASCII editor, and then importing
the modified file. You can easily reuse a given configuration file on many
systems. For more information, see
“Importing and Exporting Dial Plan
Configuration Files”
on
page 47
.
The system is shipped with several default dial plan configuration files,
typically, a 3-digit and a 4-digit file for each country that is supported.
In addition, the file
samples.txt
contains several examples that illustrate
how you can configure the dial plan configuration file to control how the
system manages incoming and outgoing calls.
Normally, you completely configure a dial plan before you start to use the
system to control the telephones. Although you can make changes later,
major changes in the dial plan can disrupt the system.
Decide whether you want to use a 3-digit or 4-digit dial plan before you
create the dial plan, autodiscover, or manually add telephones or other
devices to the NBX system.
When you import a dial plan, some parameters of the system change
immediately. Others change only when you reboot the NBX system.
3Com recommends that you reboot the NBX system each time that you
change the dial plan.
