Within Excel, I have, using Visual basic and Macro's created an possibility to convert the N720 database to an N870 configuration file.

Advantage:

• Easy migration from N720 to N870.
• N720 configuration will be migrated to N870 configuration file in seconds.
• Saves the reseller hours/days of coping the N720 data to the N870.

How does it work.

1. Resellers saves the N720 configuration, that is encrypted and send it to Gigaset.
2. You can convert the N720 configuration using nvm_edit to an readable text file.
3. From the NVM_edit you copy the data to Notepad++. (Do not save it direct from NVM_edit as then the output is one long line.)
4. Save the text file to your PC.
5. Open the excel file, press CTRL + l to start the Macro that loads the N720 text file.
6. Select your saved N720 text file.
7. The following data is read from the N720 database and presented in an Excel format:
   For all 100 Handsets:
   
   1. IPUI
   2. SIP Authentication name
   3. SIP Password
   4. SIP username
   5. Display name
   6. Voicemail active yes/no
   7. Voicemail number
   8. Call manager settings
   9. Calls Count settings
   10. MWI missed calls
   11. MWI alarm
   12. MWI Mailbox
8. Press CTRL +w to save the N870 configuration, the file can be found in "C:\temp\N870.xml"
9. Upload the file in the N870.
10. Start the DECT Registration window and Register manually all handsets using the PIN "0000"

Installation.
