Memory Card
A PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) interface slot is present on the processor module. The slot is a standard interface through which information can be added to or obtained from the system using a memory card. The PCMCIA interface slot accepts one memory card at a time.
This section covers the following memory card functions:
■ Backup
■ Automatic Backup
For information on the Restore procedure and additional information about
memory cards, see Chapter 4, “Advanced Programming Procedures.”

Memory Card
Card Types
There a four different types of memory cards that are identified by a preprinted, color-coded label. Backups are always performed using the Translation Card and the new Backup/Restore option on the System menu. A new automatic backup feature permits you to set the system to perform automatic backups to
the memory card on a daily or weekly basis. See “Backup” for more information.
This card is identified by a white label with black lettering.

Memory Card
Backup
Use this procedure to make a copy of your customized system data. You should create a backup at least three times during system installation (so that programmed information is not lost), and once after each system upgrade, service technician visit, or major system reconfiguration.
The Inspect feature ( Inspct or d ) is available to view the attributes of the backup files on the memory card prior to initiating the backup procedure. The attributes included on the Inspect screen are the filename, the time and date of the file creation/update, the location of the system programming port, and information about the system software release from which the backup was made.
The list of backup files contains three manual backup filenames and two automatic backup filenames. The default names of the manual backup files are
BACK1.
*****, BACK2.
*****, and BACK3.
*****. When you select one of the backup filenames, the system automatically replaces the stars in the filename with the current month and day ( mmdd ). For example, BACK1.0116
would appear if you selected BACK1.
****** and performed the backup procedure on January 16. You can rename any of the three default files during the backup procedure. The automatic backup filenames are AUTO.BACK1
and AUTO.BACK2.
You cannot change the names of these files.
If you enter a filename that currently exists, the message File already exists appears. You must enter another filename.
While the backup is in progress, you cannot access system programming functions, your Personal Directory, or alarm clock functions (any programmed alarms are temporarily deactivated). You may terminate the backup procedure at any point prior to receiving confirmation of a successful backup.
If any type of programming is taking place at another extension when you begin the backup procedure, the backup is canceled and the number of the first busy extension appears on the screen. Attempt the backup procedure again when the busy extension becomes idle.
If the system is turned off during a backup procedure, the backup is terminated.
The system performs a System Reset (cold start), after which you may repeat the backup procedure.
If Home or Menu are pressed during a backup procedure, the backup is
terminated. This may result in the deletion of an old backup file. See Chapter 1,
“Programming Basics,” for detail about these keys.
Common Administrative Procedures 3–225
Memory Card
NOTE:
If the system performs a System Erase (frigid start), all programming is set to the default values. If a previous backup file is available, perform a restore. If not, the
system must be reprogrammed. See “Restore” in Chapter 4 for information about
the system restore procedure.
Also see “Backup Messages” for information about errors that may occur during
the backup procedure.

Automatic Backup
To preserve the most recent copy of your customized system data, you can program the system to automatically backup programming information onto the translation memory card. Automatic backups may be set for daily or weekly operation. If automatic backup is activated, the time may be set for daily backup
(factory setting is 2:00 am) or the time and day may be set for weekly backup
(factory setting is 2:00 am Sunday).
3–228 Common Administrative Procedures
Memory Card
The system places the automatic backup into one of two designated files:
AUTO.BACK1
and AUTO.BACK2
. If both files are empty, the system places the backup in AUTO.BACK1.
If both files already contain backups, the system selects the older of the two files and overwrites it. The system performs this file “toggle” each time it performs an automatic backup.
While the backup is in progress, you cannot access system programming functions, your Personal Directory, or alarm clock functions (any programmed alarms are temporarily deactivated).
If any type of programming is taking place at an extension during the automatic backup procedure, the backup is canceled. The system does not re-attempt the backup.
If an automatic backup fails for any reason (including a system-busy condition), all of the programmed alarm buttons on system operator consoles light and the information is recorded in both the permanent error log and the last 10 error logs. The system does not re-attempt the backup.
Also see “Backup Messages” for information about errors that may occur during
the automatic backup procedure.
NOTE:
If an automatic backup fails for any reason (except when the failure results from the memory card being write-protected) the automatic backup feature is turned off. Follow the procedure below to reprogram automatic backups.

Backup Messages
During manual or automatic backup procedures, additional screens may appear to alert you to problems with the translation memory card, the backup file, or the backup procedure. This section contains displays of each screen and information about what to do if the screen appears.
NOTE:
The screens shown in this section are from the manual backup procedure; however, the screens that may appear in both the manual and automatic backup procedures are similar. The screens in both procedures differ only in the appearance of the first line. On the automatic backup screens, Auto MemoryCard
Backup replaces Memory Card Backup shown on the screens below.
Backup Canceled
Backup x:
BACKUP IS CANCELED.
File has been DELETED.
x = backup filename
Exit
If the system detects an error, either on the memory card or with the backup file, or if you terminate the backup, this screen appears.
The backup file being created is deleted and the backup is terminated. You must repeat the backup procedure.
Card Removed While Backup Is in Progress
Backup x:
BACKUP IS CANCELED.
Verify that Memory Card has been inserted correctly.
File has been DELETED.
Exit x = backup filename
The memory card is not inserted or is inserted incorrectly while a backup is in progress. The backup file that was being created is deleted and the backup is terminated. You must reinsert the memory card and repeat the backup procedure.
Common Administrative Procedures 3–233
Memory Card
Card Missing or Card Not Inserted Correctly
Memory Card Backup:
Verify that Memory Card has been inserted correctly.
Exit
The memory card is either not inserted or is inserted incorrectly. The backup is terminated. You must reinsert the memory card and repeat the backup procedure. This screen may also appear if the wrong type of memory card is inserted and a backup or automatic backup is requested within one minute of insertion. Verify that the card is a translation memory card.
Card Is Write-Protected
Memory Card Backup:
Memory Card is Write-
Protected.
Reset Write-Protect Tab on Memory Card.
Exit
The memory card is write-protected. You must remove the memory card, flip the write-protect tab, reinsert the memory card, and repeat the backup procedure.
!
CAUTION:
The memory card may be write-protected to avoid the accidental erasure of the backup files. Make certain this is not the case before you change the write-protect tab.
3–234 Common Administrative Procedures
Memory Card
Card Failure
Memory Card Backup:
Backup Failure
Try a different file or a new Memory Card.
Exit
If the card is damaged, repeat the backup with a different card. If a backup is in progress and fails, the system makes two additional attempts at the backup. At the start of each attempt, a message appears with the percentage of the backup that is completed. If the backup fails after three attempts, the screen shown above appears. Repeat the backup procedure using a different file and/or memory card.
