6 Maintaining Your System

Backup and Restore

You should back up the system programming periodically especially if you are
changing the processor module or upgrading the system, or before and after any
major programming changes. You can back up the programming to either the
internal memory of the PARTNER ACS R7.0 processor module or a
Backup/Restore PC Card. You can back up the programming automatically or
manually. Occasionally you may have to restore programming from the
backed-up file. The PARTNER system will automatically restore the most current
backup file if it detects that the battery backup translation has been corrupted.
• If you make any changes to the system programming, PARTNER
ACS R7.0 will automatically back up the system programming to the
internal memory of the processor at 3 A.M. the next morning.
• If you have a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which allows you
to program the system and perform backup and restore functions
remotely or locally with a PC, you can also back up programming to
this card. Backing up programming to a PC Card or a PC (via
PARTNER ACS R7.0 PC Administration software) enables you to
maintain a "removable" backup.
• Using a PC card does not back up the configuration of the 1600
DSL module. This configuration is retained in the flash memory of
the 1600 DSL module, not on the PC card. When the system resets,
the configuration in the flash memory of the 1600 DSL module
becomes the active configuration for that module.
