Acorn Communicator Filestore Manager's Guide

that must be done while FileStore is not running, but in a special mode called
`maintenance mode'. These tasks are:
— Formatting discs.
—Changing FileStore's station number.
— Changing FileStore's maintenance id.
—Changing the FileStore printer name.
—Changing the number of active drives.
— Changing the maximum number of users.
See Chapter 3 for instructions on how to enter maintenance mode.
The only tasks that you are likely to do regularly are formatting discs (for
taking extra backups of files or when you need extra user discs) and changing
the FileStore maintenance id (to keep the system secure).
While FileStore is in maintenance mode, other users cannot use it. This
means that you should, if possible, only perform these tasks while other users
do not want to use FileStore.
Indicator lamps The two lamps on the front panel tell you how FileStore is operating (see
diagrams on pages 40 and 43):
— Power light on and mode light off — normal state.
— Power light on, mode light flashing slowly — waiting state.
You may switch the FileStore off or close the front access door to start the
FileStore.
— Power light on, mode light flashing quickly — FileStore has encountered a
serious error. See page 60.
— Both lights off — FileStore turned off.
— Power light and mode light on — maintenance mode.
