the ConsoleServer 3200 to restore the system settings. It is not possible to use the

BACKUP and RESTORE commands from a network sys admin session.

Before beginning either the backup or restore processes, make sure that there are no

users logged in to the ConsoleServer 3200 by using the CONNECTIONS command. If

there are any users logged in, notify them to log out immediately or forcibly log them out

using the FORCELOGOUT command.

Once there are no users logged in, start the backup process by beginning the screen

output capture. Send the output to an ASCII file with a descriptive name (i.e.,

3200_backup.log). After the screen capture is set to run, begin sending the settings by

entering the command BACKUP at the sys admin>> prompt. The ConsoleServer 3200

will begin to output its internal records to the screen as ASCII characters in a code for

ConsoleServer 3200 internal use. The output may pause several times as the

ConsoleServer parses the records. Once all records have been sent to the screen, the

ConsoleServer 3200 will return to the sys admin>> prompt. Stop the screen capture

to close the ASCII file once the prompt returns to the screen.

Do not attempt to modify or edit the text in the captured ASCII file; modifying the

contents of the backup file will render the backup records invalid and unusable.

The last system records saved may be restored to the ConsoleServer 3200 using the

RESTORE command. As with the BACKUP command, all users must be logged out

before proceeding with the RESTORE process. To begin, enter the command RESTORE

at the sys admin>> prompt. The ConsoleServer will wait for the plain ASCII file

containing the system records (previously saved using the BACKUP command). Send

the records file to the ConsoleServer 3200 using the communications program's ASCII

file upload function. The ConsoleServer will exit the restore process and return to the

sys admin>> prompt without altering the current system records if the wrong file is

sent or if the file is somehow corrupted (i.e., through accident or attempted

modification). The 3200 does not provide any feedback of the data being restored and

since some Terminal Emulation Software i.e. Hypecterminal does not provide any

indication of an ACSI upload, i.e. Dialog Status Box, no indication will display until the

ConsoleServer completes the restore process. Once the records file has been

transmitted to the ConsoleServer and the restore process is complete, the

ConsoleServer 3200 will reboot and load the restored system settings.

6.11 Changing the System Prompt

The administrator may change the logged out system prompt for the ConsoleServer

3200. The prompt may not contain the “*” character, and can be up to 20 characters.

To change the system prompt, use the command PROMPT. Enter the new system

prompt when indicated and press <ENTER>.
