Step 4. Click on the button to perform the Backup and
the status will appear once the operation has been completed.
The transaction file will be stored at the same location (path)
previously entered for the FTP Server (see Figure 4-22). The
configuration file will also be stored in the same location but in
a binary format with a filename which correlates to the clock
and ending in “_ATVSConfig.bin”.
Note – It is recommended to open the text version of the
transaction file using MS Word® or Excel rather than Notepad.
The filename for the clock transaction file will begin with the
last 3 character pairs of the unique clock MAC address (see
Figure 7-1) and end in “_ATVSTrans.txt”. The following is an
example of a typical text transaction file:
Clock Name, Date, Sender, Message Type, Message

Figure 4-24: Example of a Transaction File
At the same time a Backup transaction text file is created, a Backup
transaction binary file is also created. This binary file can be used by
the Restore utility to restore the transaction database in a clock. This
should only be necessary if the clock’s flash memory was reset. The
following figure shows a Backup configuration and transaction file for
the same clock on an FTP Server. In the illustration, the first file
labeled “36-b0-4d_ATVSConfig.bin” is the configuration file for that
clock. The highlighted file (see Figure 4-25) called “ATVSConfig.bin”
is the shared configuration file for multiple clocks. This file can be
used by the included TS-3000i Utility on the CD to copy this
configuration to multiple clocks.
