Entering initial system translations

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

Before you begin

  • Prepare the initial translations offsite and save the translations in the translation file.

  • Store the translation file in the /etc/opt/defty folder with xln1 and xln2 file names.

    Alternatively, you can save the full Communication Manager backup in a translation file and restore the files on another Communication Manager.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Communication Manager CLI.
  2. If the Communication Manager translations are prepared offsite, run the drestart 1 4 command to install the prepared translations and reset Communication Manager.
  3. If translations are not prepared offsite, do the following:
    1. Type save_trans and press Enter to save the translations to the hard disk drive.
    2. Type drestart 1 4 and press Enter.
  4. Enter minimal translations to verify the port networks or media gateway connectivity.
  5. After you enter the translations, type save_trans, and press Enter to save the translations to the hard disk drive.
