Switcher Maintenance
There are a number of maintenance and support
procedures that are performed to safeguard the proper
operation of your switcher, as well as backup your setups.
Backup and Restore
The content of the hard drive in the switcher can be
backed up for archiving, or if you are replacing the hard
drive.
Note: The backup and restore should not be used as a method
of copying setups between switchers.
Keep the following in mind:
Keep the following in mind when working with the
restore and backup feature:
• The backup requires a Linux-compatible USB storage
device with at least 25GB of available space. If the
drive is not Linux-compatible, you will be prompted
to format the drive.
• Backup and restore can only be performed from a
master panel.
• All panels connected to the switcher during the
backup will be unresponsive.
• Option codes and serial number are not stored with
the backup.
• Only les that are different on the USB drive
compared to the hard drive will be backed up or
restored.

Configuration Files
The conguration les allow you to backup and restore
the current conguration setting of your switcher. The
conguration settings, as opposed to the switcher setups,
are the working sets that your switcher has stored in ash.
This includes the IP addresses and current software
version running on each panel and the frame.
To Download Configuration Files
Conguration les can be stored as individual frame and
panel les, or as a single archive of all the conguration
les.
1. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address
of the switcher frame. You are prompted to enter a
user name and password. The defaults are user and
password.
2. Click Files > Configuration.
3. Click on a link to download that le to your
computer or click Download All to download an
archive of all the conguration les.
The le is downloaded by your browser to the
default "downloads" folder on your computer.
