2.3.2.4 Restoring the Network from a Backup File

To restore a network from a backup file, choose Network | Restore Network.

Select the *.bkp file that contains the network configuration you want to

restore. Note that this process DOES NOT append to the existing network —

the existing network will be overwritten when the restore is performed.

2.3.3 Loss of Computer Power

The LoggerNet communications server writes to several files in the \SYS

directory during normal operations. The most critical files are the data cache

table files and the network configuration files. The data cache files contain all

of the data that has been collected from the dataloggers by the LoggerNet

server. These files are kept open (or active) as long as data is being stored to

the file.

The configuration files contain information about each device in the datalogger

network, including collection schedules, device settings, and other parameters.

These files are written to frequently to make sure that they reflect the current

state and configuration of each device. The configuration files are only opened

as needed.
