Transformation tables may be exported from one SBC Edge node and imported into another in order to save time when deploying additional nodes at one or more sites without the aid of an EMS auto-provisioning system. Transformation tables are exported as XML files. 

Imported transformation tables are appended to pre-existing tables on the target node, and no transformation tables on the target node are deleted or modified by the import operation.
