In single controller system, the user can resume the failed controller back to factory default status and restore the database backup file back to it according to the same steps as above. (4) Download the log backup file from the master unit or single controller unit and restore it back to the new controller a.
Chapter 6 Web-Based Applications and Management [Note]: The log backup file only records various system events and doesn’t involve any substantial operation of the controller. The log restoration is on user’s demand. (5) Set up the new controller unit as master or slave a.

Chapter 7 Failover for Database Replication Chapter 7 Failover for Database Replication In the redundant failover server system setup, after the master and the slave units work in parallel their databases are synchronized to ensure being almost identical. To create a server solution of redundancy and failover, a master unit and a slave unit should be both added into the system.

Chapter 7 Failover for Database Replication 7.1.2 How to Resume the HMXCC1 Controller to Factory Default There are two approaches to resume the controller to factory default settings: (1) Hardware Approach: Long press the hidden reset key on the front panel of the HMXCC1 controller at least for 8 seconds. The LED on the front panel will distinguish to start rebooting procedure.
Chapter 7 Failover for Database Replication 7.2 HMXCC1 Master-Slave Database Replication Failover As there is single HMXCC1 controller unit operating in the system, the administrator must regularly backup the setting data and logs of this controller unit to the computer manually. Once this single controller unit failed or became offline, the administrator can restore the latest backup files back to a new controller unit to replace the failed controller unit manually.

Chapter 7 Failover for Database Replication Figure 7-15 (2) Master/Slave controller units operate in parallel in the system; the Failover is not enabled by the slave unit. In Replication Mode, the failover function for the slave unit is not enabled by the user. Once the master unit fails, the slave unit will not automatically replace the failed master unit.
