System configurations
Every TX500 Series system has a system configuration file, which is held in ‘non-volatile’
flash memory. The data held in this file is critical for the correct operation of the system, and
therefore it is advisable that a backup copy of this file is kept for each system. The
configuration data is essentially all the details entered into the ‘Config’ screens in the TX500
control panel screen.
10.1 Requirements
The TX500 Series 2330 control card is equipped with an Ethernet port and an FTP Server,
and it is these facilities that can be used to backup and restore the system configuration.
TX500Series1.cfg contains TX500 configuration data. Network.ini contains network
initialisation data. All TX500s will be shipped with a fixed IP address configured, which the
user must know before they can proceed. The user will also need to connect the TX500 to a
Local Area Network using a standard CAT5 cable and the Ethernet port on the rear of the
main control frame. A PC needs to be available on the same LAN, the operation can then be
carried out from the Command Prompt or using Microsoft Internet Explorer V6, or beyond.
Finally, the TX500 2330 control must be put into Test Mode using switch 6, which is
accessible via the front edge, after which a reset must be performed. The TX500 will be
operational while in this mode, however, any changes made in the configuration data will not
be saved (this mode stops the flash being updated). Therefore it is advisable to always
return the switch to the OFF/UP Normal position.
