*Note: Select the components to be saved beforehand. If you enable all components, you can also decide which ones to omit during a later import. To transfer network settings to the new PBX system, e.g., the following options must be enabled when importing/exporting data: Read network settings / Network settings
*Important: Individual voicemail announcements (*.wav) as well as provisioning files for the COMfortel 1400/2600/3600 IP phones are not imported into COMtrexx. If necessary, save these as described below before taking the PBX out of service. For more information on configuration data that is not transferred, see Data migration.
