PC Port Output 8
See “Printing Reports” on page 8-69 for more information about the print
procedure using WinSPM and the PC port.
Restore 8
The Restore option allows qualified service personnel to load system
programming from either a disk or from the hard disk into the processor module
memory.
This procedure is used either to program a new system if a disk was created
through surrogate mode programming, or to restore information (using a
backup disk) lost through system failure. It is also part of the upgrade
procedure.
Considerations 8
Review the following items before you begin the restore procedure:
■ The system will be forced idle during a restore procedure.
■ You must have a backup file containing system programming before you
use this procedure. See “Basic System Management Procedures” on page
8-41.
■ Features that were not programmed when the backup file was created are
reset to factory settings.
■ The data restored reflects the number of extensions and lines available on
the system at the time the backup was created. The remaining extensions
and lines are set to the factory settings that are initialized during a Restart
(cold start).
■ Restore is terminated under the following conditions:
— If fewer boards are listed on the backup disk than on the control unit.
