General Procedures & Information
Network Controller Logging
Network Controller Logging is used to enable or disable network controller logging and also
retrieve log files for off-line viewing. The following logging files are stored on the network con-
troller and can be accessed, and with one exception displayed on the PWS:
• Network controller Process / State Logs - a record of state changes.
• Network controller Debug Logs / Core Files - a compressed file containing all the log files,
cannot be displayed on PWS. It is saved on the PWS as a *.log file for analysis.
• Event Log - a record of unscheduled events.
• Shutdown Log - a record of faults serious enough for the network controller to stop work-
ing (if the fault does not shut down the network controller before the error can be logged).
• Error / Warning Log - a record of anomalies that are not serious enough to cause the sys-
tem to reset.
• Completed Job Log - a record of the completed jobs.
There is a Status and Results window, and log files can be saved to a *.log text file on the
PWS.
Enable/Disable Log Files
The network controller process/state log files are permanently enabled. The following logs can
be enabled or disabled, as a group, using the PWS:
CAUTION
Enabling these logs will degrade machine performance.
• NC Debug Logs.
• Event Log.
• Shutdown Log.
• Error / Warning Log.
• Completed Job Log.
NOTE: It is not necessary to keep the PWS connected if selectable logging is enabled.
NVM Save and Restore
NVM Save and Restore is used to save NVM settings to a disk (this would normally be the
machine resident diskette) and then restore them to the machine. Previous NVM values can be
restored after loading a software set using AltBoot, or if the machines NVM settings are
changed.
CAUTION
When the machine software is upgraded using AltBoot, customer NVM settings are not auto-
matically saved. The customer NVM settings must be saved, then restored using NVM Save
and Restore.
Procedure
1. Ensure that the PWS is connected to a mains AC power supply.
2. Open the NVM Save and Restore application on the PWS. Follow the instructions.
If the PWS suffers a power failure or crash during the procedure, the machine should recover.
If the machine has not recovered after 5 minutes, perform the following:
1. Switch on the PWS. Open the NVM Save and Restore application on the PWS.
2. Select the Exit button in the NVM Save and Restore window.
3. Restart the NVM Save and Restore procedure.
Software Upgrade
Software Upgrade is used to upgrade the machine software. In software upgrade mode the
machine will:
• Go offline.
• Disable power saver mode.
• Not respond to activation of the on / off switch.
• Disable all job features.
On completion of the upgrade the machine will exit the software upgrade mode and reboot.
