Chapter 11
You can back up the area of the HDD where MEAP applications reside to a PC, as when you want to format the HDD. MEAP devices use a license-based mechanism
to control applications so that formatting the HDD will necessarily delete the jar files and application data, requiring you to not only reinstall them but also make
necessary settings. (Doing so consists in obtaining special license files for reinstallation and downloading user data/settings, increasing your work load.)
If you use the SST's backup function, you will be able to temporarily put aside the area of MEAP applications, thus being free of the foregoing extra work. This
function, however, is limited to a specific MEAP device (serial number), and cannot be used for illegal copying of applications.
You must not perform any other work (including checking operation) until the HDD has been backed up. This arrangement is to prevent a mismatch of MEAP
counter readings and the HDD contents, and any fault in operation arising as the result of failure to observe this will not be covered by the guarantee of operation.
Memo:
The application that is installed with a reusable license can be reinstalled by using the same license.
The following list shows the details of area that SST backs up;
Jar files of MEAP applications
Settings set with MEAP applications.
Note that SST does not back up images in Mailboxes that MEAP applications use.
User information data registered with SDL
Requirements for Backup Using the SST
The following conditions must be met for use of the function:
1) Device Firmware Version
iR2220 Series
iR2250 Series
iR5020 Series
iR5160 Series
Devices ither than those listed the above. Already supported since the 1st version. Already supported since the 1st version. The version supporting the
2) SST Version
Version 1.81 or later. An earlier version will not permit the use of the function. If needed, upgrade the SST.
3) Space for backup
To back up the HDD of the iR, the PC must have approx 300 MB of free space at maximum.
Making a Backup and Formatting Hard Disk Drive with Service Support Tool
1) If SDL or SSO is used for the login service, switch to default authentication before backing up the user information. Although SST will back up SDL user infor-
mation, it is recommended to export the user information just in case. For SDL user information backup, go to User Management page of Simple Device Login
site and export the data. (The SDL login page opens with the URL "http://<device IP address>:8000/sdl/").
If a hard disk of a system that uses SDL or SSO is formatted without changing the login service to the default authentication, the error message "The login service
must be set again with SMS" appears and the system cannot start up when you attempt to restart the system after formatting. If this problem occurs, change the
login service to SDL or SSO with SMS. If you cannot access to SMS since you do not have the IP address of the device, start the system with FIXIP mode -
hold down the numeric keys 1 and 7 and turn the power switch on. The IP address "172.16.1.100" will be automatically assigned for the device. Then log in to
SMS specifying the address.
2) While holding down the 2 and 8 buttons, start up the device in download mode.
As in the case of Sramimg.bin, the function is available only when the device is in Download Mode.
3) Connect the PC to the device and start the Service Support Tool.
4) In Download/Upload session of SST, select the appropriate device model, System in the tree view, and take necessary steps to connect to the device.
5) Click Upload the Backup Data button.
6) Click the option "Meapback.bin" from Name list of Backup Data Available for Selection, and click Start Storing button.
