• 11.6.3.4: More fields were added
• 11.7.3.0 the <open_private>

File format from AlphaPro version 11.7.3.0

<directory number>;<id number>;<groups>;<group access level>;<cos>;<display text>;<udp groups>;<exp parameter>;<open_private>;<mail in idle>;<global>;<ccoip>;<dak>;<station type>

Field description:

• <directory number>: The Directory Number of the user
• <id number>
  • If <global> = 0: The physical number
  • If <global> = 1: The node number
• <groups>: Contains a list of groups separated by comma: ..;1,2,30;..
• <group access level>: Can have these values: 0=Low, 1=Medium (default), 2=High
• <cos>: The CoS value 1-16
• <display text>: The display text of the user
• <udp groups>: Contains a list of udp groups separated by comma: ..;1,8;..
• <exp parameter>: The User Defined Parameter field. Maximum 4 characters.
• <open private>:
  • 0 = Station Controlled
  • 1 = Always Private
  • 2 = Set by Feature code
  • 3 = Always open
• <mail in idle>: 0 = unchecked and 1 = checked
• <global>: 0 = Local Number (feature 9), 1 = Global Number (feature 83)
  • If the <global> field is 0 (or empty), the <directory number> will be added as a feature 9 number with the <id number> as physical number.
  • If the <global> field is 1, the <directory number> will be added as a feature 83 number with the <id number> as node number. If a global number is added, the <directory number>, <id number> and <display text> are the only fields used. All other fields will be ignored.
• <ccoip>: 0 = unchecked and 1 = checked
  • If the <ccoip> field is 1, the station with physical number = <id number> will be set to be an CCoIP station. If the field is 0 (or empty) the station will keep the CCoIP setting it had before the import process.
• <dak>: A list of DAK key strings separated by comma: ..;1:I60,2:I640;..
  • Each DAK key string is prefixed by DAK key number, so that the example above will result in the DAK key string I60 being programmed to DAK key 1 and I640 being programmed to DAK key 2. To delete existing DAK keys, use ..;9:,10:;... Here DAK keys 9 and 10 will be deleted.
• <station type>: Indicates station type, where
  • 0 (or missing) = Master Station
  • 1 = Sub Station
  • 2 = PNCI
  • 3 = CRM
  • 4 = Display Station
  • 5 = Dual Display
  • 6 = Custom 2

File format from AlphaPro version 11.5.3.0

<directory number>;<id number>;<groups>;<group access level>;<cos>;<display text>;<udp groups>;<exp parameter>;;<mail in idle>;<global>;<ccoip> 

Where:

• <groups> can now contain a list of groups separated by comma: ..;1,2,30;..
• <group access level> can have these values: 0=Low, 1=Medium (default), 2=High
• <udp groups> can contain a list of udp groups separated by comma: ..;1,8;..
• <always private>, <mail in idle>, <global> and <ccoip> is either 0 or 1 for respectively unchecked and checked

If the <global> field is 1, the <directory number> will be added as a feature 83 number with the <id number> as node number. If the <global> field is 0 (or empty), the <directory number> will be added as a feature 9 number with the <id number> as physical number. If a global number is added, only <directory number>, <id number> and <display text> are used. All other fields are ignored.

If the <ccoip> field is 1, the station with physical number = <id number> will be set to be an CCoIP station. If the field is 0 (or empty) the station will keep the CCoIP setting it had before the import process.
