Backup File
The backup file command allows you to review the data in an archived transaction log file. Use
your pointing device and select Transactions and then Backup file. The following prompt box will
appear.
Enter the name of an existing transaction data file and press
<ENTER>
(i.e. jan96.dbf as in the
example above). The TAP100 software will display the transaction log file data and allow you to
view and manipulate the data as in the Open Transactions File command beginning on page 59.
Get Network Transaction Data
If the transaction log file has been lost or damaged, current transaction data can be restored from
the readers on the ProxLock network. This is done with the get network transaction data
command. Use your pointing device and select Transactions and then Get Network log data. The
following prompt box will appear.
If you want to exit this command without retrieving the readers’ transaction logs, use your pointing
device and select QUIT.
If you want to clear the readers’ memories as you retrieve the readers’ transaction logs, use your
pointing device and select YES. The status message line will display:
Once communication has been established with the local network, the status message line will
count off the readers communicated with and the number of transactions collected.
The status message line will keep a running total until all readers and transactions have been
retrieved.
When this process is complete, the following prompt box will appear.
Initiating communication with local network on COM1 . . . please wait.
