DataSafe and Network Controller Cards
This section briefly summarizes the DataSafe™ options available for the Network Controller Cards.
For more information on using DataSafe in DashBoard, refer to the DashBoard Control System User
Manual.
Using the Alarm Button
An audible alarm indicates when a DataSafe mismatch occurs, such as when a card is installed that
does not match the compatibility range of the DataSafe saved data.
• Single pressing the Alarm button mutes the audible alarm, but does not mask the alarm
displayed in DashBoard. For information on masking DataSafe mismatch warnings, refer
to the section “Hiding the DataSafe Warnings”.
• Holding the Alarm button down for approximately 5 seconds causes the new settings of all
cards to be copied to the saved DataSafe slots.
Enabling DataSafe
All slot fields in the DataSafe tab of your Network Controller Card are set to Disable by default. The
Disable feature prevents DashBoard from automatically recalling the card parameters for the specified
slot. You may still monitor the status of the cards in those slots, and DashBoard still updates the slot
information when a new card is installed or when a card is removed from the slot and replaced with
another card.
Use the following procedure to enable DataSafe for a specific slot:
1. From the Tree View in DashBoard, double-click the Network Controller Card to display
a corresponding Device Tab in the Device View.
2. Select the DataSafe tab.
3. Locate the card slot(s) you wish to enable DataSafe for.
4. Clear the corresponding checkbox in the Disable column.
This completes the procedure for enabling DataSafe for a specific slot.
Re-naming a Card Slot
DashBoard enables you to re-name a card slot and have that name display in all Tree Views and the
DataSafe tab window for the specific Network Controller Card.
Use the following procedure to re-name an openGear slot in the Tree View:
1. From the Tree View in DashBoard, double-click the Network Controller Card to display
a corresponding Device Tab in the Device View.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. In the Card Slot Names section of the Setup tab, locate the slot you wish to re-name.
4. Enter the new name for the card slot in the text field provided.
This completes the procedure for re-naming an openGear slot in the Tree View .
