Because of the possibility of an interfering carrier being created if the remote is
still transmitting, selecting the Diagnostic Reset command displays the reset
uplink warning shown in figure 6-28.
Figure 6-28 Reset Uplink warning
Caution: Read the Reset Uplink warning carefully, as performing this operation
on an unknown transmitting unit may cause carrier interference on
the operating network. It is safe to reset resources for a remote if it is
known that the remote is not transmitting, powered down, or faulty.
Database Backup and Restore
It is recommended that periodic VMS database backups be performed on a
regular basis. In addition, backups are necessary prior to installing a new
version of VMS (upgrade) and whenever any significant changes are made to
the network configuration. This precaution will allow for a current or recent
database to be restored in the event that a failure—such as a file corrup-
tion—with the VMS occurs.
Backup Procedure
1. Right-click on the VMS Server icon in the ViperView main menu bar and
select the Backup command from the drop-down menu (figure 6-29).
