Two versions of the Norton Ghost software are available on the control:
S Norton Ghost version 5.1b (default)
S Norton Ghost version 6.01
From Norton Ghost version 5.1c onwards, the data format has changed, which
means that earlier versions of Norton Ghost, i.e. < V 5.1c, are unable to read
the new data format.
If the latest version 6.01 is required (because a more recent version is installed
on the PG/PC, for example), this can be activated via the Service menu.
1. Switch on the control and select setup mode (press key 6 if the DOS/
Windows window appears).
2. Select menu “7: Back-up/Restore”
3. Enter the password
4. Select “Switch to other version of GHOST”. The active version of Norton
Ghost appears at the top of the screen.
For a transfer using the LPT parallel port, the Norton Ghost software cannot be
mixed with old (< V 5.1c) and new (>V 5.1b) versions. During the transfer, it
should be ensured that a compatible data format is transferred:
S Norton Ghost V5 up to and including V5.1b or
S Norton Ghost V5.1c up to and including V6.x
