SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
7.9.4 BM150 Backup and Restore Procedure
The Backup and Restore functions are valid for any application layout type (point-to-point,
network, etc.) using CBX500 connection boxes through the BM100 Backup module (required
accessory for BM150 installation).
The Backup and Restore functions are managed through the BM150 display and keypad and
therefore are disabled at the BM100 Backup/Restore button.
If it ever becomes necessary to replace the reading device it can be quickly configured
through the restore procedure.
BM150 provides complete backup and restore functions (Configuration and Environmental
parameters) with the following difference:
For Single Readers or individual ID-NET Slaves:
Backup and Restore functions provide parameter storage including all configuration jobs
present on the reader.
For Master Readers in ID-NET Master/Slave networks:
Backup and Restore functions provide parameter storage of only the Startup
Configuration for the Master and all Slaves present in the network.
CAUTION: For Master/Slave networks any other configurations (jobs) stored
in the device memory will not be backed up. Therefore upon a restore, all jobs
other than the startup configuration will be overwritten (erased). It is strongly
recommended to save all configurations to backup files.
The Slaves must always be configured with the same network baudrate as the Master
for correct functioning including performing Backup and Restore procedures.
Backup and Restore functions cannot be interrupted once started.
