(I) Import NP RapidDial Table

To import an NP RapidDial Table from storage media or from another directory, select I from the NP RapidDial Table menu. When you import a file, the program searches for the specified file in the “/usr/vm/config” directory. To import a file from another directory or storage media, you must include a path in the file name. Do not specify an extension. NP RapidDial automatically appends .rdt as the extension.

Only new records are imported into the NP RapidDial Table. An existing record is not affected unless a command in the import file deletes that record in the current NP RapidDial Table. To import a completely new table, first clear [option (C)] the current NP RapidDial Table, then import the replacement table.

Import files are text files. You can edit these text files in a text editor and insert the following commands before importing the file:

For example, a text file for import might include:

These commands:

end

Enter import filename:

<file name>

Enter the path and file name to import. Do not specify the default .rdt extension in the filename. Records with settings that overlap existing records in the current NP RapidDial Table are not imported.

To import the file from another directory, specify a full path name in the following format: /fd0/<path><filename>

If you do not specify a path, the program searches for the file in the default directory:
/usr/vm/config/

n records added, n records deleted, 1 failed.

 

The number of imported records appears as n records added. If the import file includes redundant records, an error message appears. Each error increments the “failed” counter.
