Pelco C539M-A, C1501M, C549M-A Dos, File Maintenance, Transfer Files from CM9760-CC1 to CM9760-MGR

DOS

The CM9760 system’s program runs in DOS. Therefore, you will need to use basic DOS commands to transfer, overwrite, and edit data, and to maintain files on your hard drive.

The default configuration files on the CM9760-CC1 hard drive are defined at the factory and are labeled “TEST.” These files are referred to as “flat files” and are loaded into memory when you power up the system. (See the Configuring the System 9760 with the Pelco Win- dows SET 9760 section in the CM9760-MGR System 9760 Administrative Software Manual for details.)

The procedures that follow show you how to copy your configuration files from the CM9760- CC1 to the PC where the CM9760-MGR program is located and back again using a floppy disk. You will need to use these procedures if you want to change these files. If you want to rename these files, you will need to use the procedure in the Renaming Configuration Files section below.

1.Take the CM9760 offline by simultaneously pressing Ctrl and Q on the AT keyboard. The VGA screen will display C:/9760>.

2.Insert a blank 3.5-inch floppy disk into the floppy drive of the CM9760-CC1.

3.Type copy test.* a: and press Enter. The flat files will be copied from the CM9760- CC1 hard drive to the 3.5-inch floppy disk.

4.Remove the floppy disk and insert it into the PC that contains the CM9760-MGR pro- gram.

5.Start the manager program on the PC by double clicking on the Pelco 9760MGR icon. Enter a user ID and password in the Log On dialog box (the default for both is Admin).

6.Click on the Read File icon on the taskbar. This opens the Flat File Utility – Read dialog box. All the generated files have check marks to show they are selected.

7.Click Select on the Flat File Source button. This starts the standard Open dialog box.
