QT-6600 Installation & Down Recovery Manual
2. System down and recovery
In the QT-6600 system, the check tracking system has their master and backup master and
remote printer printing system has their master printer and backup master printer. If both
masters (or corresponding printers) go down, the check tracking system, cannot continue
any processing. And also if both masters (or corresponding printers) go down, remote
printer printing system cannot continue any processing. Therefore, the system must be
designed such that even if the master goes down, their processing remains unaffected.
The QT-6600 system whose master and backup master, respectively, have files for above
systems simultaneously updates their data during operations. If the master goes down,
control is transferred (automatically for only the remote printer printing system /manually
only for check tracking system) to the backup master, preventing their operation from
being interrupted.
Nevertheless, system reliability should be improved so as to minimize the possibility of
system failure. Poor system reliability disables the system to work efficiently.
System reliability could be improved by the following method.
1) Use reliable system components.
2) Design reliable circuitry.
3) Make sure that trouble with the system can be remedied easily.
4) Provide complete backup to minimize damage caused by trouble.
Item 1) and 2) are concerned with hardware design. Needless to say, they were given the
utmost consideration in designing the QT-6600 system. Item 3) is related to software
design. As an effective solution to these problems, the terminal offers a diagnostic routine
and backup functions.
This section describes the measures provided by the system to prevent trouble, the system
function performed when the system goes down, and the method of system recovery.
