3.9.2Debugging the System

The D (Debug) command is only available to factory personnel with a password authorization higher than "Superuser." It gives access to the system software coding.

3.9.3Backing up the System Configuration Data

The IMACS-200 provides the capability to backup the system configuration to a PC or network service device. This information will be contained in a file, and can be used to restore the data to the same unit should it ever need to be re-installed, or to use the configuration as a base file to place into other boxes with the same configuration to save time on installation.

There are two options for backup and restore, as seen in figure Figure 3-14.TFTP and xmodem file transfer protocols are employed on the box.

The connection must be made either in the box that will receive the downloaded or in a remote box routed through the local IMACS-200 that is set as a gateway using IP protocol. You must be able to ping the IMACS-200 IP address from the PC or server that you intend to use as a TFTP server and vice versa. Setting up the host IP address, netmask and gateway are done at the sYstem level, and then editing the parameters in the tcp/Ip screen as shown in figure Figure 3-15 on page 3-22.The Host IP State must be set to the active status, and the Host
