Either method can be chosen. An advantage to downloading the database it that
does not require physically transporting anything from one site to the other. An
advantage to archiving and restoring the database is that a copy of the database can

to load as the unit is being installed.
Creating Database Records

for MS-DOS 5.0, at the new ICP. To format a diskette and make it

Steps 1–33 are performed at the new node. Steps 34–39 are done at an
INM in the operational network.

If you only need to change the time, enter the hour and minute; to change the
year, month, or day, you must enter the entire string.
5. Various messages will be displayed, ending with:
database (y/n)?
Installing a Node
Be sure to change the node number at the new node (described
as part of the "restore" procedure), since the restored database
will identify the node as the one at which the database was
archived.
