Creating/Restoring Backup Of Configuration Data - TERMA SCANTER 1002 User Manual

The "Site Default" data area is used to store a copy of the "Transceiver Configura-
tion". It is recommended to copy the "Transceiver Configuration" to the "Site
Default" area after Setting-To-Work (STW) and later on after major changes of the
settings.
Furthermore, it is recommended to back up the "Transceiver Configuration" and
logs, area masking and maps on the Radar Service Tool computer. When activat-
ing the backup from the RST, the FTP server will create and store a temporary
backup file which is then transmitted to the RST computer.
The "Temporary files" directory has a limited size, hence it is possible to delete
some of these files by means of the RST.
The "Factory Default" data area contains basic settings for the transceiver, created
and used at transceiver production. These data are not intended to be used on site.

Creating/restoring backup of configuration data

Note: Antenna rotation must be stopped before initiating the backup.
To create a backup of the "Transceiver configuration" and log files, use the RST
"Backup/Restore" view. See
The RST saves the backup file in the directory selected by the user:
For each zipped backup file, the date is used as the file name (i.e. BackupDate.tar).
The backup file contains all parameters for the transceiver and the radar system,
logs, area masking and maps.
The restore function copies the transceiver backup file from the RST computer to
the "Transceiver configuration" area. Once the backup file has been uploaded, the
transceiver will restart to activate and use the restored backup file.
The restore function is available in two variants: Partial Restore or Full Restore.
A "Full Restore" is used in situations where a complete replacement of the config-
uration of the transceiver is desired. This includes site specific settings such as IP
address, encoder alignment and calibration data. This is the type of restore to be
used when exchanging the LRU containing the transceiver hard drive or if a com-
plete re-initialization of the transceiver to a previously backed up state is required.
