 Backing Up/Restoring Configurations

2. Then use the

SAVE AS

or

COPY

button to download the backup file to a your workstation

or a USB device.

Restoringfrom aBackupFile

From the front panel keypad

1. Plug the USB flash drive into the 'target' SyncServer.

2. Wait 10 seconds.

3. Press the

MENU

button, select

4) USB

, and select

1) Restore Cfg

.

4. The SyncServer reports "Restoring from USB Drive" and "Shutting down, please wait..."

5. When the SyncServer finishes rebooting, remove the USB flash drive.

From the web interface

On the

WIZARDS - Restore

web page, select one of the following options:

n

Reset to Factory Defaults. See

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

(on

page 167).

n

Restore last backup from SyncServer.

n

Restore backup from USB flash drive.

n

Restore backup from a workstation hard-drive or network directory.

TransferringConfigurations

The user can transfer a configuration across multiple SyncServers to save time and effort,
provided they are running the same

Software Version

(displayed on the

STATUS - General

page.

If you have physical access to the SyncServer, the easiest method for transferring the con-
figuration is to use a USB flash drive and the front panel keypad.

1. Create a backup file on a configured SyncServer, as described in

Creating a Backup

File

(on page 166).

2. Restore that backup file to another SyncServer as described in

Restoring from a

Backup File

(on page 167).

3.

IMPORTANT:

When the SyncServer reboots, immediately change the IP address of LAN1

using the front panel

MENU

button as described in

Configuring LAN1

(on page 148).

This step resets all of the network port addresses and prevents network address col-
lisions with the previous SyncServer.

4. Log in and use the

NETWORK - Ethernet

page to configure the network ports.

5. On the

SYSTEM - General

page, update the

Hostname

.

Note: The SyncServer S350i does not include a GPS receiver.

The user may wish to restore the factory default configuration in a variety of circumstances:
