Norton Ghost Utility
If a disaster occurs and prevents the control from operating, the Norton Ghost™ Utility is
available on specified controls to replace core system files and re-enable operation of the
control. Norton Ghost must be installed on the control hard drive with an appropriate
ghost image file.
The Norton Ghost Utility works by allowing you to retrieve an image file from the drive
D: partition of the hard drive to replace all data on drive C: The Ghost Image can be a
factory default or custom user created image files.
Note: All current information on Drive C: will be lost. You should create a unique user
image after table configuration which includes all the important table settings.
This feature may be executed from the System Tools screen or through use of a Ghost
image utility. This tool is available from the control supplier and transmitted over the
Internet.
