2.4.4 PRISMAsync System Backup
To backup the PRISMAsync system settings and licenses, a technician must use
the USB key included in the PRISMAsync box.
To backup the PRISMAsync’s firmware, a technician must use a specific type of
USB stick (available for purchase), as described in
on p. 30.
The USB key and USB stick are the same types of physical hardware (flash
drives); however, they are both used for different purposes.
It is strongly recommended that technicians make a backup of the system after
installation, major system changes, or upgrades on the provided USB key.
The USB key must be left with the PRISMAsync controller.
2.4.5 PRISMAsync Firmware Updates
It is recommended that a technician use a specific kind of USB stick to upgrade
or restore the PRISMAsync controller firmware. The USB stick is NOT included in
the PRISMAsync box.
The USB stick used for upgrading the controller firmware must adhere to specific
technical requirements. For the USB stick’s technical requirements, see
on p. 30.
IMPORTANT
•
Before downloading new firmware on the USB stick, the USB stick must be
formatted (all contents on the stick erased). During the firmware update
process, the current firmware on the PRISMAsync controller is erased and
replaced by the newly installed firmware. Therefore, it is highly recommended
that the technician backup the PRISMAsync system settings and licenses on
the USB key first. Then, after the firmware is updated (using the USB stick), the
installed licenses and settings can be restored using the USB key.
•
Once the USB stick has been used to update firmware on the PRISMAsync
controller, it cannot be used again until the format process is repeated.
•
The USB key and USB stick should not be used interchangeably.
•
Using a USB stick that does not meet the specific technical requirements, may
result in an error when backing up the system settings or an error when
installing firmware.
