This section describes replacing the DACS.
Replacing the DACS
If you isolate a problem to the a DACS component, the entire DACS must be replaced as follows:
Exporting the current DACS configuration
The Import/Export function enables you to make a backup (or export) copy of your access server’s configura-
tion parameters. By exporting the configurations, the saved files can quickly be loaded (or imported) into a
replacment access server—greatly speeding up the installation process should an access server need replacing.
1. If you already have a recently exported backup of your configuration, go to “Removing the defective
DACS” on page 56.
2. To export a configuration, connect your Web browser to the Administration Pages, then click on
Import/
Export
under the
Configuration Menu
to display the
Import/Export
main window (see figure 30).

Note
The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as
they are stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating
parameters. To ensure that you export the most current parameters,
go to
HOME
, then click on the
Record Current Configuration
button
under
Immediate Actions
.
3. To export the flash configuration, click on the
Export Flash
link on the
Import/Export
main page. The
access server will display text configuration information resembling that shown in figure 31.
