Corrective Action to Resolve File System Full Condition
If the file system becomes completely full, it will become impossible to modify the RTU configuration. This condition will be reported via error codes, alarm messages, or diagnostic reports.
Operator intervention is required to resolve the condition as follows:
- If configuring the unit, exit the current session. The automatic database cleaning function may free sufficient space to allow the next session to continue.
- Erase any single speech message. This should free up sufficient space to make a large number of configuration changes. Be sure to keep a full backup copy of all speech data used by the RTU. See Backing Up Your Data.
- After the desired configuration changes are completed, attempt to restore the erased speech message. In rare cases it will be necessary to re-record a shorter version of the speech message.
- Reduce the amount of file system space reserved for the data log files. If this reserved space is currently utilized, it may also be necessary to download or otherwise erase the existing log file data.
- If file system fills while recording speech messages and additional messages still need to be recorded, then:
- Select a slower recording rate if possible.
- Re-record messages speaking faster or using shorter phrases.
Note: It is recommended that the unit be fully configured BEFORE the speech messages are recorded.
