SYSTEM MENU – BACKUP/RESTORE
Backup/Restore menu serves for backups management. SMΩRF provides three (3) separate slots where you
can backup your settings. All three backup slots can be restored from the computer or exported to the computer
or as single file through the web interface. These data and the file calls “SMΩRF Config”.
Almost all settings of the SMΩRF can be backup-ed, including SCREEN layouts and menu settings, however
there is one item which is not stored to backups, and it is the password. For security reasons, password is
excluded from backups because when backups are exported to the computer, file is not encrypted and would be
readable. Password can be reset in the SMΩRF menu (LAN SETTINGS) if you forget it and than changed
through the web interface.
Another item, which is stored to backups but internally handled separately are sensors data. Sensor's data has
its own management. SMΩRF has separate memory for 16 different sensors. It means that when you attach new
sensor to the SMΩRF, SMΩRF copies sensor's system and calibration data to its own memory to speed up
following power ups, when only presence of the sensor is detected. When you attach 17
th sensor to the SMΩRF
(probably will never happen but if), oldest sensor's data in the SMΩRF memory are replaced by the newest
sensor's data. These sensor's data are exported to the computer together with content of all three backup slots.
When you restore config data from the computer back to the SMΩRF, SMΩRF updates also sensor's data.
As was described, SMΩRF has allocated memory for three backup slots. Each slot is independent, can have its
own name which is editable in the NAME field [1], and automatically stores date when backup was created (not
editable). Using backups, whole SMΩRF behavior can be switched for three different setups or different QTHs,
because Antenna's and Sensor's cables specification are included in the backup.
What to do with the backup is specified by ACTION field [2] which can be set to BACKUP or RESTORE action.
Action is confirmed by the EDIT button.
CONTROLS:
1. NAME
Sets backup slot name.
2.
ACTION
Specifies backup action
BACKUP – stores all current SMΩRF's settings to the backup slot.
Previous content of the backup slot is overwritten.
RESTORE – restores settings stored in the backup slot and overwrites all current settings.
3. RESET to FACTORY DEFAULTS
Resets all settings to the default, factory state. Please note, all your custom settings and entries will be
lost and reset to the default. Only content of backup slots and sensor's data copies remain intact.
Once you overwrite factory supplied backup slots you cannot get them back. However if you for any reason want
to get your SMΩRF back to absolute default, factory state, you can download “factory default SMΩRF Config”
from
www.microham.com downloads page and restore backup slots from the computer through the web
interface.
