When the ReadAll has completed its work, you will return to the Transfer Files menu.
Restore Route
Sometimes a route that you have already unloaded to the Route Management software
needs to be sent again. For example, you might find that a communication error occurred
and the readings in the Route Management software are unusable. Restore Route allows
you to transfer the readings from the ReadAll to the Route Management software a
second time.
In the ReadAll, after you successfully send readings to the Route Management software,
the route is removed to make room for a new route. However, the ReadAll stores a
backup copy of the route last sent to the Route Management software. If you need to
send the readings to the Route Management software again, the Restore Route function
will restore the route information, including any gathered meter readings, from the
ReadAll’s backup copy. The backup copy remains in the ReadAll until you send the next
group of readings to the Route Management Software. Then that group of readings is
held as the new backup.
The Restore Route function begins when you press the Restore Route button. The
ReadAll will check to be sure that no new route information has been loaded. If so, the
ReadAll will remind you that restoring the old route will overwrite the current route,
including any meter readings that might have been gathered.
