15/09/2024

Answer

To upload a configuration from a backup (configuration) file to a DataMan reader, do the following:

  • Disconnect from the camera intended to be restored. To ensure closure it may be easier to close out of the DataMan Setup Tool (DMST) application and restart the software.  
  • From the DataMan Setup Tool’s homepage, go to the Restore section on the left-hand column by clicking on it.  
  • At the top of the screen there is a Configuration File section with a text box and another box to the far right with 3 dots. Click the 3 dots. Navigate to the location of the backup file to be uploaded to the camera. Highlight the file then click OK.
     

NOTE: It may be necessary to change the file type above the OK button if the desired backup file type does not show up.  
 

  • Highlight the reader or readers to be restored and click Restore on the lower right. A window will popup showing the progress.
  • Once the file has been successfully uploaded to all the readers the "Cancel" will change to a "Close" status.
  • Close out of the window. This concludes the restoration process, and the camera is now restored with the backup file.
