Cloning generators
This section describes how to copy configuration settings from one generator to other
generators using a PCMCIA card. The entire block of battery backed user memory
(including video formats, custom test images and test sequences) is copied from one
generator to another using a suitable PCMCIA memory card.
The card you need is a Type 1, Battery Backed RAM PCMCIA card with at least 2 MB of
storage. These cards are available from synchrotech P/N PCM-SRW-AM002 2MB. Flash
or compact type memory cards will not work.
Note: See VGM online help for procedures for cloning generators using VGM.
To clone a generator using PCMCIA card:
1. Install the same firmware version on the source and target generators.
Note: This procedure can only be used when the firmware of the source and target
generators are the same. To verify the firmware version, load the GenStats image.
2. Insert PCMCIA card into the source generator.
3. Hold down the Step and Outputs keys while starting generator.
4. Choose WR (press Outputs key) to copy the generator configuration to the card.
The generator displays a Done message when it is done writing to the card.
5. Transfer the PCMCIA card to the second generator.
6. Hold down the Step and Output keys while starting generator.
7. Choose RD (press Step key) to copy the configuration data from the card to the
generator.
All user-created objects on the target generator will be deleted. To cancel the operation,
press the ACS key.
8. Hold down the ASC, DCS, and DSS keys while starting the generator to return the
generator to normal operating mode.
