on the PG/PC
S PC/PG with bidirectional interface, EPP setting
S LapLink–Siemens parallel cable (Order no. 6FX2002-1AA02-1AD03) com-
mercial LapLink cable
S For PCU, set the parallel port to EPP (Bios), which will increase the trans-
mission speed of the parallel interface by approximately 10%.
1. Back-up/restore at the file level is done using HMI Advanced in the
“Services” area, e.g. by selectively backing up start-up and machine data,
etc. (via V.24, network, PC card)
2. Individual software components are installed/reinstalled either via PC card
or via the parallel port (Interlnk/ InterSrv). Please take note of the BIOS up-
dating problems.
3. If you back-up/restore via the parallel port of network, the power saving
circuit of the external PC/PG must be switched off.
4. After backing up/restoring with Ghost, the parallel cable should be un-
plugged to avoid unpredictable HMI operating states.
5. If the external PC is equipped with an AMD K6 processor, problems may
arise with the parallel connection if the processor cycle is >233 MHz. In this
case, both computers (PCU and PC) should be operated with the LPT Bios
setting “ECP”.
6. Occasionally, access problems to the CD ROM drive are encountered with
some PGs. In this case, a ghost connection abort may incur after a direct
restore of an image file from a CD ROM.
Remedy: Copy the image file from the CD to the PG hard disk.
S Saving of complete hard disks in an image file
S Restoring hard disks from an image file
S Compressing of image files
S In-built coupling via LPT port master/slave, e.g. from PCU with PG (without
Interlnk/Intersrv)
S Supporting long file names
S Disk integrity and image file “Integrity Check”
S Reloading of image files to unformatted hard disk (“on-the-fly formats”)
S New target hard disk can be larger or smaller (if data volume not too large)
than the original
S When copying hard disks with several partitions, the size of the partitions
can be changed.
S Command interface for the integration of batch files
S Menu interface for interactive operation
