4.11 Downloading configuration to the MK8000
When the configuration process is complete, backup your project. Detailed instruc-
tions for this can be found in the DMS Connectivity Configuration Guide
(A6V10062425). After you have backed up the project you are ready to transfer the
configuration to the MK8000 server.
Before downloading the configuration, you need to start the MK8000 on the
server and FEP stations. You can start, stop and verify the status of the MK8000
server with the System Monitor icon
in the bottom right corner of your screen.
For more information, see Appendix A Using the System Monitor, p. 87.
There are two types of downloads that can be performed:
Regular Download (downloads the complete project);
Incremental Download (downloads only the changes).
A regular download transfers all of the data contained in the composer project to
the MK8000 server. An incremental download transfers only the information that
has changed since the last download. This can significantly reduce download time
when only a few items have changed.
When you are downloading a new project for the first time, you
must
perform a
complete download. Performing an incremental download of a new project will
cause problems.
Please note that if you are migrating from an existing MK8000 to a newer version,
you should refer to the Release Notes prior to performing a download.
