Verifying the Original ADMPCPU’s
Database (Now as Backup)
In a dual-MPCPU configuration, the backup CPU is
not in control of the switching bays. Therefore it is
not easy to see whether or not the data has been
preserved. To be able to see its data at a glance,
read the entire database using EASY CPU
Configurator.
1. Launch the AD EASY CPU Configurator.
2. Select
MPCPU > System > Options
and enter
the IP address manually in the
CPU
Addresses
section.
3. Click on the
File > Read…
menu to initiate a
read from the MPCPU.
4. Examine different categories of data to confirm
that the database has been preserved.
NOTE:
Multiple sessions of EASY CPU
Configurator may be launched, one having the
old database open to compare against the
recently read information.
Verifying the Original ADMPCPU’s Camera
to Monitor Selections (Now as Backup)
In a dual-MPCPU configuration, the backup CPU is
not in control of the switching bays. Therefore it is
not easy to see whether or not the camera to
monitor associations have been preserved. To be
able to see more data at a glance, initiate a Monitor
Status using EASY CPU Configurator.
1. Launch the AD EASY CPU Configurator.
2. Select
MPCPU > System > Options
and enter
the IP address manually in the
CPU
Addresses
section.
