Debugging the System

The D (Debug) command is only available to factory personnel with a password authorization
higher than "Superuser." It gives access to the system software coding.
3.9.3

Backing up the System Configuration Data

The IMACS-200 provides the capability to backup the system configuration to a PC or
network service device. This information will be contained in a file, and can be used to restore
the data to the same unit should it ever need to be re-installed, or to use the configuration as a
base file to place into other boxes with the same configuration to save time on installation.
There are two options for backup and restore, as seen in figure Figure 3-14. TFTP and
xmodem file transfer protocols are employed on the box.

Pre-TFTP Backup and Restore Preparation

To perform backup and restore uploads/downloads via the TFTP function, the following
method of connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) network must first be selected.
1. The first option requires that the system to which you will download be powered and
running through an active ethernet port that is connected to a LAN. The connection must
be made either in the box that will receive the downloaded or in a remote box routed
through the local IMACS-200 that is set as a gateway using IP protocol. You must be able
to ping the IMACS-200 IP address from the PC or server that you intend to use as a TFTP
server and vice versa. Setting up the host IP address, netmask and gateway are done at the
sYstem level, and then editing the parameters in the tcp/Ip screen as shown in figure
Figure 3-15 on page 3-22. The Host IP State must be set to the active status, and the Host
