tion about network topologies and configuration, especially for large

Backup OMN Database
It is a good practice to always backup the OMN database before making
any changes to an Encore configuration. That way, should there be any
problems you can easily restore the system to its earlier condition. The
OMM database consists of a collection of directories located on the Sharer
PC. This database is for the entire Encore system.
1. Make a copy of the entire OMN folder on the C: drive root directory of
the Sharer PC, giving it a new folder name. Copy that renamed folder
onto removable media, label it, and store it in a safe location.
2. The folder can be renamed to identify its version or date, but before it
can be used by Encore the folder must have its original OMN name and
be placed back at the C: drive root directory of the Sharer PC.
Router Controller Main Screen
The Router Controller is a remote application, launched by logging into the
Encore OUI, clicking on a blank button, and selecting that application from
the list displayed.
The Router Controller Main Screen shows the name of the application
(Router) and below it, the Area that the Router Control application services
(
Figure 65). Use the buttons on the Main menu to go to the function you
want: Route, Names, Config, or Options. Clicking the Disconnect button at the
bottom of the screen exits the application and makes it available to other
users.
Note A user’s ability to change a Router Controller configuration can be restricted
to just editing Source and Destination names. Using System Manager, if a
User privilege level of 1-9 is assigned, only the Route and Names Router
Controller menus will appear for that user.
