6.13 Scheduled Tasks

This menu helps you schedule your database backup, PBX restart, UMTS board restart or KeepAlive sending for PBX operation information. Click Add in the context menu to add an event and select the event type, name and repetition mode in the subsequent window.

 

Database backup

This option helps you schedule your database backup intervals easily, especially in the case of incidental data loss or configuration changes. The database is stored in the physical storage defined in the Storage manager in preset intervals. The storage can be a MMC card or a shared directory on a network disk. The database is stored with a timestamp designating the storing date/time and current firmware version for later use.

 

LDAP synchronisation

This option sets synchronisation with the LDAP server specified in the Network – Service settings – Directory service (LDAP) menu. Synchronise with a selected LDAP server or all servers at one time.

 

PBX restart

The deferred PBX restart is useful, for example, when it is impossible to restart the PBX immediately after firmware upgrade as it is used by the users.

 

UMTS boards restart

Schedule the UMTS card restart via this option.

 

PBX KeepAlive

The KeepAlive messages help monitor the PBX operation. The KeepAlive settings include the Event reporter, which helps send the KeepAlive messages. Refer to the Network – Supervision services menu for the Event reporter settings: set the PBX keepalive event type for the object created. The Event reporter function is subject to licence.

The following options are available in the Scheduler menu:

  • Type – select the event to be scheduled.
  • Name – set the name of the event to be scheduled.
  • Schedule task – select a repetition frequency for the event to be scheduled.
    • Not scheduled – the event is not scheduled in this mode.
    • Daily – specify in how many days the event shall be repeated.
    • Weekly – specify in how many weeks and on which days the event shall be repeated.
    • Monthly – specify on which days or days of which weeks of the selected month(s) the event shall be repeated.
    • Once only – select a date on which the event shall be executed.
  • At time – define the time at which the event shall be executed on the selected day. You are advised to select a time value off the working hours (in which the PBX is heavily loaded with user calls) except for the KeepAlive messages.
