3) If Personal code is used the Card number field must be empty and the Personal
code in the PIN field.
In cases where you want to archive events files (stored on the PC hard disk) on
some other backup media, this can be copied separately. Remember to coordinate
these operations with the automatic deletion of event files.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. Find the folder where the actual system user has specified to store the events.
3. Select which user's event files to archive.
Dependant of the PC environment itself, there maybe many methods of doing this
automatically. Consult the IT-manager.
Normally it is sufficient to let the database (with all the settings, persons etc) be
stored in every SR35i (and in the PC) to ensure the safety and integrity of the
system. The more segment controllers there are – the more backup copies there
are.
However – it is possible to save a PC-file copy of the entire information on a
backup media. Proceed as follows:
1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. Go to the Windows users profile folder. Example for Win XP: C:\documents and
settings\Username\.
3. Go to the database folder \Username\Application Data\SiPass Entro
\Standard\.
4. Copy all files to a suitable backup disk.
Note the above method is only valid if no other database path is configured in the
dbpath.ini
There are also methods of doing this automatically, dependant of the PC
environment. Consult the IT-manager.
The installer can also use the menu system in the SR35i (SR34i) to store or re-
store the database to/from an existing CF8 memory flash card. However – this
method shall be considered as an emergency operation and must be used with
caution.
