Mirrored Drive Syncronizing (Obsolete)
put p5551212
to put it to the DOS disk on the terminal, then:
vput p5551212 p5551212
to transfer it to the voice storage system.
Be careful if doing custom prompts - if you do lots of them, you could consume enough
DOS storage to cause paging terminal trouble. Check remaining disk space with the “
df”
command - there should be at least one megabyte free for normal paging operations. If you
are transferring the files to your PC, you can delete them from the DOS disk on the paging
terminal via the “
del” command, for example:
del p5551212
Doing so for each file transferred to your PC will avoid the problem of filling up the
paging terminal disk.
Mirrored Drive Syncronizing (Obsolete)
If you have purchased the Mirrored Voice System option, your system has two disk drives.
The system software keeps the voice system synchronized between the two drives - every
time a voice file is written to one drive, it is also written to the other one.
However, the mirroring does not affect files on the DOS part of the hard disks, such as the
paging software, the subscriber database, log files, and so forth.
To keep the DOS part of your mirrored drive up to date, you should periodically run the
batch file we provide for this purpose. If you have not already got it on your PC, get into
ZlinkW and type at the “+” prompt:
get dmirror.zb
Then, any time you want to make the mirrored drive the same as the main drive, get into
ZlinkW and type at the “+” prompt:
batchrun dmirror.zb
This will copy all of the operating files, and owners files (PageSaver customer tracking
files), from the main drive to the mirrored drive.
You might want to do this once a week, or once a month, or whenever you add or change
cards in your system. Then, if the main drive fails completely, you can reconfigure the
mirrored drive and put it in as the main drive. This way, your database will be mostly up to
date (giving you more time to do the Full Rebuild process to bring it current), and your
configuration files should be correct.
