PRESERVING USER SETTINGS
The upgrade process will preserve user settings, except under the
circumstances listed below. Before upgrading the MC-12HD, create
an archive of user settings using the MC-12HD Configuration Tool
available at www.lexicon.com or the Installation Worksheet in the
MC-12HD User Guide. This will expedite the reconfiguration of the
MC-12HD in the event that user settings are not preserved.
The upgrade process will preserve user settings UNLESS:
• The message “WAITING FOR DOWNLOAD” displays on the MC-
12HD front panel before the upgrade process begins.
• The computer hard drive does not contain the 46kB of available
hard drive space required to preserve user settings.
• You checked the “Skip Config Save” checkbox in the updater
window before beginning the upgrade.
• A communication error occurs when user settings are sent to the
upgraded MC-12HD. Communication errors may occur if the
serial extension cable is disconnected, the MC-12HD is powered
off, or the computer experiences a problem.
Note:
The MC-12HD is designed to preserve the upgrade process during serial
communication failures. But, certain factors such as serial cable type, serial
cable length, and environmental conditions sometimes cause
communication failures. If this occurs, attempt to upgrade the MC-12HD
again. If problems persist, contact your Lexicon dealer or go to
www.lexicon.com.
