MFC-8300 Series User Manual (Ver. 1.0)
Overview
The following DataSafe features are available for your Network Controller card:
• The Network Controller card monitors all traffic going through it. On power-up, the
Network Controller card queries for all card information.
• Changes to writable parameters of cards is noted and the current version of all parameters
is stored. Parameter data is stored locally on the network card for every slot independently.
• Parameter data can be saved in a single file.
• DataSafe enables the user to send all the parameter data to a card slot or to every slot on
the network that matches.
• You can use a limited DashBoard view to update a subset of cards instead of the entire
connected view. DashBoard sends the file to a specific network card and slot for use. Once
received, it updates the card if the attached card matches the data sent.
• DataSafe stores and recalls the parameters automatically with or without a network
connection.
• When a DataSafe mismatch occurs, there is an audible alarm from the card and a warning
message is displayed in DashBoard. You can clear the alarm using an option in the Setup
tab, or by using the card-edge controls. A DataSafe mismatch occurs when the software
version or the card type does not match the saved data for that slot.
• Note that DataSafe is disabled by default.
