PM5 Synchronisation

Telephone System Database Synchronisation:

PhoneMaster works by downloading data from the telephone system and building a local database which can then be viewed and changes made can be uploaded to the telephone system. Database Synchronisation involves downloading data from the telephone system to the local database. A full database synchronisation involves downloading the entire telephone system database and a partial database synchronisation involves a selective download.

Perform A Full Database Synchronisation:

  1. Choose Administration from the Main Menu.
  2. Choose Synchronise Databases from the Administration Menu.
  3. Choose the Select All button.
  4. Choose the Download button to synchronise the databases. The Save Timing dialog box will appear. You may download the telephone system database immediately by choosing the Save Now option, or at a scheduled time by choosing the Schedule Save option and selecting the appropriate schedule from the list.

Perform A Partial Database Synchronisation:

  1. Choose Administration from the Main Menu.
  2. Choose Synchronise Databases from the Administration Menu.
  3. Set the parameters for the synchronisation as required (see below).
  4. Choose the Download button to synchronise the databases. The Save Timing dialog box will appear. You may download the telephone system database immediately by choosing the Save Now option, or at a scheduled time by choosing the Schedule Save option and selecting the appropriate schedule from the list.
