Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System Using the Cisco Network Configuration USB Flash Drive, on page 128 Troubleshooting When You Cannot Access the Graphical User Interfaces, on page 419 Cisco-Provided .xls Data Configuration File The data configuration file, which is a Cisco-provided .xls spreadsheet template where you can enter the majority of your configuration data, provides the following support: • Allows you to plan your configuration before you begin your first day of deployment. • Allows you to insert users and phones in bulk through the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface after your initial deployment. To quickly import (add) your configuration data to Cisco Business Edition 3000 after you plug in your Cisco Business Edition 3000 server, you can enter your data and then upload the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file to the server from a USB flash drive or your desktop when you run the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard. If you upload the file, you bypass the configuration pages in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, and the wizard immediately takes you to the Summary page where you can confirm your data. After the server restarts at the end of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, you can log into the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface and verify that you data got added to Cisco Business Edition 3000. If you include user and phone data in the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file, the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface allows you to import the users and phones and then informs you of import errors for users and phones. Tip If you do not want to upload the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file when you run the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, consider entering your data in the file and using it as a guide when you manually enter the information in the GUIs. For example, during your initial deployment, you inserted 25 users and phones; now, you must insert 25 more users and phones. To accomplish this task, you can modify the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file that you used for automatic set up during the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard or you can obtain a new Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file and add your new users and phones to that new spreadsheet. Make sure that you have installed the appropriate country-pack .cop files during the automatic setup of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard. From Release 8.6(3) onwards, you can localized spreadsheets provided your local browser matches the locale of the spreadsheet being uploaded. The localized spreadsheet contains texts and drop-down fields in the locale that you have chosen from the language drop-down list box. Note Be aware that when you download the localized spreadsheet on the Cisco Business Edition 3000, the options in the Advanced Options drop-down menu for various functionalities may remain in English. Only the non-technical texts and the non-reserved strings will be translated to the chosen locale. For example, PRI 4ESS, PRI 5E8, SFTP, CentralSite, and Remote Site remains in English.
