3.At the sys admin> prompt, type RESTORE and press <ENTER>. The SCS3230 will prompt for confirmation to proceed with the parameter restore process. Type YES and press <ENTER> to proceed. The system will ask for a second confirmation to proceed. Type YES and <ENTER> to start the parameter restore process. After the second confirmation, there is no text echoed to the screen indicating that the restore process is proceeding.

4.Using the communications program, send the text file containing the backup records to the SCS3230. Be sure to use text mode when transferring the file. The file download should not take too much time; less than a minute is typical at 38.4K baud. After the download is complete, the SCS3230 will re-zero all unused records. If a problem is encountered during the text file transfer, the SCS3230 will abort the restore process and return to the sys admin> prompt.

5.Once all unused records have been re-zeroed, the SCS3230 will reboot. Allow the complete memory check to proceed; after it is done, log in as the sys admin at the LCI3200> prompt.

6.The ConsoleServer is restored to its previous settings and is ready for use. Check that all user, terminal, device, and other parameters are correct and acceptable.

4.2.3 To RESTORE from a 3200 to a 3230

Use a terminal emulation software on a PC connected to the sysadmin port of a 3200. Ensure that software flow control (XON/XOFF) is turned on for the software.

1.Implement a capture to file.

2.type “backup”.

3.Wait until you see “$BACKUP COMPLETE”

4.edit the backup file and remove any information before the line which starts 0,… This is probably the first line. Also remove the couple of lines that say $BACKUP COMPLETE. After the backup there will be some extraneous information, this needs to be removed.

Copy the file to the 3230. This can be accomplished using pscp or scp

Log in to the 3230 and establish yourself as root. Cd to /lci/bin

Step 1) Type ‘restore “file name” yes’

“file name” is the name of the file you just copied.

The last yes is needed if you want to be told what passwords the system is inserting for this user. If you do not want to see the passwords, do not type anything.

Unless there is an issue, you will observe users being added to the system and any changes that take place to the user name or password. If you receive a message about record number being incorrect, the file is either corrupt from flow control or you have not edited out the extraneous information that is in the file from doing the backup.

If the service multidrop is running you will be asked to stop it and told how to do so ‘type “service multidrop stop”’. Goto step 1.
