Reintroducing a Deskset Into the System
If there are no more than 100 Desksets in the system and a Deskset screen displays Synch Failed or Synchronizing for a long
time, you may need to remove the Deskset from the system and reintroduce it. This problem may have been caused by a network
disruption, the Deskset having been part of a different network, or by an AC power failure.
To reintroduce a Deskset into the system:
1. Ensure that the Deskset is connected to the same LAN subnet as other system Gateways and Desksets. Ensure that the
PC you will use to access the WebUI is either on the same subnet as Synapse, or that the PC subnet can communicate
with the Synapse subnet. Devices on the same subnet generally share the first three octets of their IP addresses. If the
subnets are different, contact your installer.
2. If you want to retain the programming for a problem Deskset, back up the Deskset.
a. Log in to the WebUI as administrator on the problem Deskset. Click Device Management, then Back up/Restore,
and then Extension Settings in the Navigation Menu at left.
b. Select the extension from the Select Extension to Back up drop-down list, and click to save the
file to a specified location on your computer. You will need to locate and retrieve this file later, so make sure you
remember where you saved it. The default file name will be in the format:
backup_ds_[extension number]_[year]-[month]-[day]_[time].cfg.
If you back up the same extension less than one minute after creating the backup, you may overwrite the earlier backup
file.
