24 Installation & Setup Guide
Norton Ghost™ Utility
In the unlikely event that an extreme system error has occurred which 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 previously installed on the control
hard drive with an appropriate ghost image file.
The Norton Ghost Utility works by allowing the user to retrieve an image file from the D: partition of
the hard drive to replace all data on drive C: The Ghost Image may be a factory default or custom
user created image files. NOTE: All current information on Drive C: will be lost. It is recommended
that a unique user image be created after table configuration which will include all the important table
settings.
This feature may be executed from the System Tools screen or through use of a diskette shipped with
the control. It may also be obtained from the control supplier on diskette or transmitted via the
Internet.
Norton Ghost™ is a Trademark of Symantec™ Corporation.
Create Diskette from E-mail

The file sent by the Internet will be an auto-executable file which will place the required files onto a
diskette to be used at the control. First place a blank diskette into your PC. Double click on the
recovery EXE file. A message box will be displayed. Click on the “Create Floppy” button to execute.
The EXE will copy the new files to the floppy disk to take to the control.
