4.1 DATALOGIC AUTOMATIC REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (DARP
TM
)
When SC6000 is used as a SYNCHRONIZED or MULTIDATA Master (Topology Role
parameter)
, a DARP™ backup procedure must be performed to automatically manage
scanners and SC6000 repl
acement in case of failure (DARP™ Restore). Once the system
configuration has been completed as described in par. 3.2
, launch the DARP™ backup by
one of the following methods:
Using Genius:
Click on the DARP™ backup icon in the Device Network area. You will be prompted to select
the desired backup option (complete, all scanners, controller, or each single scanner).
Using the SC6000 keypad:
1. Press the <Ent> and <Menu> keys simultaneously to enter the Menu;
2. Use the <arrow> keys to move within the menu items;
3. In the <System> menu choose <Backup> and select the desired backup option
(complete, all scanners, controller, or each single scanner).
The SC6000 Controller will store the complete system configuration on the Compact Flash
card.
If a slave scanner has to be replaced, the corresponding configuration (node address, code
configuration, PackTrack™ configuration, etc.) is automatically downloaded by the SC6000
into the new scanner at the next system startup.
NOTE
All replacement scanners must be set to the factory default values.
In case of SC6000 failure, the complete system configuration can be recovered from the
Compact Flash of the damaged SC6000: by simply installing the old Compact Flash in the
new SC6000, the system configuration is automatically restored and the reading station is
ready to start working again.
CAUTION
Before removing the Compact Flash card, switch the SC6000 Controller off.
