Use the list station command with a starting extension:
list station 2000-2999
When executed, the system typically prompts the user to define the scope of the export. If the user does not specify a range, the system may default to all stations or prompt for specific criteria.
Common Variations:
export list station all
export list station 1000 1999
The ASA list station export is a valuable but imperfect data source. Its fixed-width format, while machine-parsable, suffers from truncation, hidden field omission, and terminal-dependent drift. A robust telephony management system must combine ASA exports with direct CM database queries or SNMP-based polling to achieve a complete station state picture.

Mastering Avaya Site Administration: A Step-by-Step Guide to Exporting Station Lists
For telecom administrators managing an Avaya Communication Manager (CM) system, Avaya Site Administration (ASA) is the primary tool for day-to-day operations. Whether you are performing a system audit, preparing for a migration, or simply cleaning up unused extensions, knowing how to efficiently export a list of stations is a fundamental skill.
In this guide, we will walk through the process of exporting station data from ASA into a manageable format like Excel. Why Export Your Station List?
Before diving into the "how," let’s look at the "why." Exporting your station data allows you to:
Audit Licensing: Identify how many endpoints are currently consumed. avaya site administration export list station
Inventory Management: Track hardware types (e.g., 9608, 1616, or SIP) and their assigned users.
Mass Changes: Export a list to modify it in Excel, then use the "Import" or "Duplicate" feature to push changes back to the PBX.
Troubleshooting: Cross-reference port assignments and physical locations. Prerequisites
Avaya Site Administration (ASA): Ensure you have the software installed and a connection configured to your PBX.
Login Credentials: You need a login with sufficient permissions to "list" and "display" station information.
Connection: You should be logged into the specific GEDI or Terminal Emulator session for the switch you wish to query. Step 1: Using the "Export" Wizard (Recommended)
The most streamlined way to get data out of ASA is using the built-in Export Data wizard. Launch ASA and connect to your system.
Navigate to the Advanced tab (or the "Tasks" pane on the left). Click on Export Data.
A wizard will appear. In the Select Object field, type or select station.
In the Export File field, click the browse button (...) to choose where to save your file (e.g., C:\Documents\StationExport.csv). Ensure you save it with a .csv extension for easy opening in Excel. Click Next. Step 2: Selecting Fields and Filters This is where you define exactly what data you want to see.
Select Fields: You will see a list of all available station attributes (Extension, Name, Type, Port, Coverage Path, etc.). Move the fields you need from the left column to the right column. Mastering Avaya Site Administration: The Complete Guide to
Tip: Always include Extension and Name as your primary identifiers.
Filter Criteria: If you want every station, leave this blank. If you only want a specific range (e.g., extensions starting with 500), you can set a filter here. Click Next, then click Finish. Step 3: Running the Task
Once you hit Finish, ASA creates a "Task" in the bottom pane. Right-click the task and select Run.
ASA will communicate with the PBX, execute the list station command internally, and write the results to your CSV file.
Once the status changes to Completed, you can navigate to your folder and open the file in Excel. Alternative Method: The "Report" Method
If you only need a quick snapshot and don't want to use the wizard, you can use the Report function: Go to Fault/Performance or Reports. Select General Report. Type the command: list station. Choose Export to file as the destination. Follow the prompts to save the output. Common Troubleshooting Tips
Timeout Errors: If you have thousands of stations, the task might time out. If this happens, try exporting in smaller chunks (e.g., filter by extension ranges 1000-1999, then 2000-2999).
Column Alignment: When opening the CSV in Excel, sometimes names with commas can shift columns. Using the Export Wizard generally handles delimiters better than a manual copy-paste from the terminal.
Missing Data: Ensure your CM login has "read" permissions. If you can’t run list station manually in the terminal, the export will fail. Conclusion
Exporting your station list in Avaya Site Administration is the first step toward better system organization. By moving your data into Excel, you gain the power to filter, sort, and analyze your telecommunications environment with ease.

In Avaya Site Administration (ASA), exporting a station list is typically done through the Advanced or Reporting tools to generate a clean file for use in applications like Excel. Method 1: Using the Export Data Tool Export All: export list station all
This is the most direct way to pull mass configuration data into a text file. Open Avaya Site Administration and log in to your system.
Navigate to the Advanced tab on the left-side menu or select System > Advanced > Export Data from the top menu.
In the "Select an object to export" dropdown, choose Station.
Follow the prompts to select specific field filters if needed (e.g., only specific extension ranges). Specify the output file path to create a .txt or .csv file. Method 2: Using the Reporting Tool (Flexible Export)
The reporting tool allows you to use standard commands like list station to generate custom exports. Go to the Advanced tab and select Report. Enter the command list station.
Tip: You can also use variations like list station type or list station port to narrow results.
Check the box for Export fields to file and click the browse button (...) to set your save location. Configure the export settings for easy Excel use: Field delimiter: Comma. Text qualifier: Double quotes. Export column titles on first row: Checked. Click Run to generate the file. Method 3: Quick Export via GEDI
If you only need a quick snapshot, you can export directly from the Graphical Enhanced Desktop Interface (GEDI). Run the command list station in the GEDI command line.
Right-click anywhere within the resulting list and select Export. Save the results as a CSV or text file. Summary of Useful "List Station" Qualifiers
To refine your export, you can add qualifiers to the command before running the export:
list station [extension] count [number]: Lists a specific range (e.g., list station 3000 count 100 lists 100 stations starting at 3000).
list station type [set type]: Filters for specific hardware, such as 9611 or 1608.
list station port S: Useful for identifying IP-based phones (which typically start with "S" in the port column). Avaya Site Administration Reference
