Service Mode. BACKUP FUNCTION. Data Cloning

General description

Data cloning is a function that backs up user data, setting data and SRAM data into a USB media and also restores these data into the equipment. The types of data to back up or restore are selectable. You can back up or restore all data in a batch, or only the required one separately.

Precautions

  1. Programs required for data cloning are as follows:
    Root directory
    rootusb2
    clone_5520C_6530C.001
  2. Be sure to check the “Status display of the USB data cloning permission (08-9889)” before data cloning. When the value of 08-9889 is “1 (Prohibited)”, data cloning cannot be performed. Contact and ask the user (machine administrator) to change the setting on the [Data Cloning Function] in TopAccess.
  3. It is assumed that data cloning is to be performed when equipment is installed or options are installed. If the address book has been registered, do not perform restore. Registered / set data are lost.
  4. The USB media for the data cloning must meet the following conditions. A data cloning operation with any devices other than the following will not be guaranteed.
    - A combination USB medium with a flash memory (to be connected directly to the USB port) having a capacity of 256 MB to 512 MB (or 1 GB) or more.
    - A device compliant with the following specifications established by USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum)
    Class number: 8 (=08h) (Mass storage class)
    Sub-Class number: 6 (=06h) (SCSI transfer command set)
    Protocol number: 80 (=50h) (Bulk-only)
    - Most of the common USB medias are compliant with the above specifications and are therefore applicable to this data cloning. However, most of these devices were originally developed to be used in an environment for PCs (e.g. Windows or Macintosh) and thus operations exclusively with this equipment have not been fully guaranteed. Therefore, the user must thoroughly check in advance whether there will be any problem in operating with this equipment when adopting one of these devices.
  5. The USB medias compliant with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 can be used for this data cloning.
  6. Data cloning with any storage devices other than a flash memory (e.g. USB-connectable memory card reader, CD/DVD drive, hard disk) will never be guaranteed. Therefore never use them for this operation.
  7. Be sure to unplug the LAN cable and Fax line before data are backed up / restored. Also, do not use the RADF and open the cover, drawer, etc. during the data cloning.
  8. Data can be backed up / restored only for the same model and version. If the version is different, update the firmware and back up / restore data in the same version.
  9. Restore data to equipment which has the same options as when the data are backed up.
  10. If “Department management” or “User management information” is restored, the counter values are copied as well, so clear all of them. However, the total counter is not copied.
  11. Delete the backed up data in the USB media after the data cloning.

Backup files

Data files that are available for backup are limited to user data, setting data and SRAM data.The detailed descriptions for each file are shown below. Note that backup files are encrypted.

  1. User data file
    The folder "user_data" is created in the root directory
  2. Setting data file
    The folder "setting_data" is created in the root directory
  3. SRAM data file
    The folder "sram_data" is created in the root directory
Contents of file

• File format (user_data.txt, setting_data.txt, sram_data.txt: all in common)
Line 1: Version
Line 2: Serial number
Line 3: Date

Backup procedure

  1. Shut down the equipment.
  2. Connect the USB media to the USB port on the right upper cover.
    Note:
    Backing up cannot be performed with multiple USB media connected at the same time.
  3. Turn the power ON while pressing the [5] and [9] buttons simultaneously.
    A screen for selecting items to back up is displayed. Select the number (any of “1”, “3” and “5”) for data you want to back up. Press the [START] button.
    Note:
    The screen above is not displayed if the data cloning function is disabled. In this case, ask the
    user (machine administrator) to enable the data cloning function on the TopAccess menu.
  4. A certain time after the [START] button is pressed, the following screen is displayed. Select the number of the desired data. The selected item will be displayed with an asterisk.
  5. Press the [START] button. The backup starts and the backing up status is displayed on the LCD screen.
  6. “Back Up Completed” is displayed on the LCD screen when the backup has been properly completed.
  7. Turn the power OFF and remove the USB media.
