11.4 Using the massive creation form
11.4.1 Considerations
This section only describes how to massively create the following data, from the blank
form provided:
• External data
• Programming keys for each subscription (maximum 64)
• Secondary numbers for multi-line subscribers.
For other management functions available from the AMP, especially export/import and the
associated processing operation (update of technical characteristics, modification of
internal directory records, modification of external directory records, etc.), see the
chapters Export function and Massive data import in the Aastra Management Portal
Operating Manual (Document [1]).
11.4.2 Introduction
The Excel form allows massive configuration of Aastra 5000 systems during first
installation.
It is advisable to keep an original copy of this file in Excel format.
This basic form comprises 3 tabs allowing respectively the massive creation of the
following items:
• External records
• Key programming for each subscription (maximum 64)
• Secondary numbers for multi-line subscribers.
Each tab is saved separately in .csv format to generate a single, unique file per column.
The generated files will have to be imported one by one during the Massive import phase
from the AMP menu System/Software maintenance/Massive import.
The data thus generated in .csv format will be compatible with the Aastra 5000 systems
during massive import. This data may later be processed as any other parameter data
type, using the Export function.
For a multi-site network, only one .csv file must be generated (from the Excel form) on the
reference directory site for massive import.
This procedure applies if there is no AM7450 Management Centre on the installation.
