5. About the Automatic Restore using a USB flash drive
You can clone the IP1000C's settings and firmware using a USB flash drive.
L See pages 5-12 to 5-16 for details.
About the USB flash drive:
• Before using the USB flash drive, save the content to a PC as a backup.
• The USB flash drive is not supplied. Purchase separately.
• A USB flash drive with biometric authentication, or one with password protection cannot be used.
• Turn OFF the IP1000C's power before inserting or removing the drive, to prevent data corruption.
• Either one of the USB slots accepts the drive, but insert only one drive at a time.
• Insert the drive securely.
• NEVER remove the USB flash drive or turn OFF the IP1000C's power, while transferring data. It will cause data
corruption, or damage the USB flash drive. While transferring data, the [USB] LED alternately blinks orange and green.
• After the firmware updating is finished, check the firmware version on the setting screen to verify that the update was
correctly done.
• When importing setting data from a USB flash drive to the IP1000C, the originally programmed setting data is
automatically saved as "bakdata.sav" in the USB flash drive, as a backup.
• If both firmware and setting files are saved on a USB flash drive, the firmware and setting data are sequentially updated.
