Note: While the geographic GNSS position is stored and retained
through power cycles, choosing Clean (Restore Factory Con-
figuration) will erase the stored GNSS position.
Erasing the position stored in your GNSS receiver means that the next time the
GNSS antenna is connected and the GNSS receiver is able to continuously track at
least four satellites, a new GNSS survey will be initiated, so the position can be recal-
culated and locked-in. A GNSS survey typically takes up to 33 minutes.
4.8.2 Backing-up and Restoring Configuration Files
Once VersaSync has been configured, it may be desired to back up the configuration files
to a PC for off-unit storage. If necessary in the future, the original configuration of the Ver-
saSync can then be restored into the same unit.
The capability to backup and restore configurations also adds the ability to “clone” multiple
VersaSync units with similar settings. Once one VersaSync unit has been configured as
desired, configurations that are not specific to each unit (such as NTP settings, log configs,
etc.) can be backed up and loaded onto another VersaSync unit for duplicate con-
figurations.
There are several configuration files that are bundled in one file for ease of handling.
Note: For security reasons, configurations relating to security of the
product, such as SSH/SSL certificates, cannot be backed up to a PC.
4.8.2.1 Accessing the System Configuration Screen
The System Configuration Screen provides comprehensive information about hardware
and software status. To access the System Configuration screen:
