The WaveStar
®
CIT is not a fully implemented FTP server, but it can
handle backup and restore capabilities. For automatic backups, a
Navis
®
Optical Element Management System (Navis
®
Optical EMS)
or another large capacity FTP server should be used. The WaveStar
®
CIT is not recommended for automatic backups.
The backup feature can be forced or scheduled to complete
automatically at specified intervals.
If you log in via TCP/IP, your PC must be part of the GNE’s TCP/IP
Gateway Host List (refer to the Metropolis
®
DMXplore Access
Multiplexer User Operations Guide, 365-372-332).
Important! If the FTP server associated with the WaveStar
®
CIT
fails to start, it could mean that another program using an FTP
server is already running. Depending on what operating system
you are using, you must go to the device file and disable the FTP
server. Refer to
“Procedure 6-12: Disable an FTP server” (6-199)
for instructions for each allowed operating system.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to backup and restore the system.

CIT session with the
