The SCS3230 is designed to work with the Backup and Restore options found in the CS3200 
product. You can transfer your database from the CS3200 to the SCS3230. To accomplish this, 
you must save the Backup the system database to a local PC, and then after upgrading the 
hardware, you can then upload the saved information.  
 
If you do not use Backup and Restore, you will have to re-program the system with port and 
user information.  
 
This section assumes some existing familiarity with the administration methods (logging in, 
using the TERM port, etc.) of the CS3200 system, much of which will be similar with the 
SCS3230 system .  

 
Before shutting down the CS3200 System, you should backup the existing user database. This 
is a normal CS3200 operation, as described in the 3200 documentation.  
 

1.  Log in as the sys admin on Control card port A on the CS3200's CONTROL card. 
2.  Make sure that there are no users logged in to the ConsoleServer 3200.  If there are 

any, have them log out or force them off the system using the 

FORCELOGOUT command. 

3.  In the communications program, begin the text file capture.  Name the text file as 

something that will indicate that it is the ConsoleServer 3200 parameters backup file, not 
just a plain text file (i.e., 

3200.bak and not 3200.txt). 

4.  Type the command 

BACKUP at the sys admin> prompt and press <ENTER>.  Text will 

be outputted to the screen; this text is equivalent to the binary data stored in the 
ConsoleServer 3200's non-volatile memory.  Wait several minutes while the 
ConsoleServer searches memory for all non-zero records (unused records are skipped 
in the backup). 

5.  After the 

sys admin> prompt returns, end the text file capture in the communications 

program. 

6.  Open the text file with a text editor (such as Window's Notepad text editor, or StarOffice, 

etc.).  

7.  Remove any text after but not including the line 

$BACKUP COMPLETE.  DO NOT EDIT 

ANY OF THE TEXT ABOVE THIS LINE!  It is not necessary to remove the text after 
$BACKUP COMPLETE, but it reduces the download time for the file during the RESTORE 
process. 

 

 
After the SCS3230 system is operational, you can transfer your CS3200 database into the 
system using the RESTORE option. After your database is saved in the SCS3230 system, you 
can backup and restore the SCS3230's user database using Backup and Restore.  
 

1.  Log in as the sys admin on TERM port on the NETWORK / CONTROL card. 
2.  Make sure that there are no users logged in to the SCS3230.  If any users are currently 

logged on, have them log out or force them off the system by using the FORCELOGOUT 
command.
