4.8.4 Downloading the configuration

There are two types of downloads that can be performed:

 Regular Download (downloads the complete project)

 Incremental Download (downloads only the changes)

A regular download transfers all of the data contained in the Composer project to the

MK8000 server. An incremental download transfers only the information that has

changed since the last download. This can significantly reduce download time when

only a few items have changed.

When you are downloading a new project for the first time, you must perform a

complete download. Performing an incremental download of a new project will cause

problems.

WARNING

Note: If you are migrating from an existing system to a newer version, you should

refer to the

Release Notes

prior to performing a download.

To download the configuration, do the following:

1. Launch the System Supervisor Browser.

Start > Programs > DMS8000 > System Supervisor Browser

2. Wait for the Server and any FEP station icons to turn green.

3. Select a Station icon in the left pane.

4. Verify that all the items listed in the right pane turn green.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each station.

6. In Composer, select the project node in the tree, and from the Tools menu select

Download.

Note: If you have already performed a full download during the configuration

process, you can save time by performing an Incremental Download.

Attention: Never perform an incremental download until AFTER you have already

performed a full download.

7. Enter specific comments about this download when prompted.

 The successful download window appears when download is complete.
