Automatic Detection of Database Match
Encore 1.7.3 and newer software automatically detects whether the Sharer
and SCB flash memory have correctly matching databases, and automati
-
cally go to Sharer mode if they are identical.
If the Sharer shuts down on the network, each Router Controller and
Control Panel Server goes to
Local filing mode. Now, whenever the Router
Controller or Control Panel Server detects the Sharer, they check the copy
of the database on the SCB Flash against the Sharer database. If the data
-
bases match, these applications automatically go back to Sharer filing mode.
This check is also performed when the Router Controller or Control Panel
Server starts up. If the databases match, the Sharer database is not down
-
loaded, which significantly reduces the time delay to full operation.
