Upgrading BEPS
Before beginning, be sure you are logged on as the local administrator to the PC where the software is installed. Also, you will need to know your domain name and password for the BEPS service, if applicable.
NOTE: Imaging or backing up your PC prior to starting an upgrade is not required, however never discouraged. These steps should serve as a checklist to make sure all your information is backed up and your upgrade goes smoothly.
PREPARATION:
1) Save the BEPS Print Utility "spool.ctr" file. (This can be done by launching Print Utility and click Save as… in the Control file section at the bottom of the window. Save the file to a place where it can be easily found later. i.e.- Desktop).
2) If running an early version of BEPS NJE without the backup configuration option, go to C:\Program Files\Barr\Spooler\NJE Routing and save the NJE routing table which is a Text file. Starting with the 4.1.50 version of BEPS the backup configuration option will facilitate this process and save all your configurations settings automatically.
3) Backup the configuration settings and save them to a new folder on your network. This can be done by selecting TOOLS BACKUP CONFIGURATION BACKUP from the BEPS window.
INSTALL:
1) If using a USB hardware key, remove the key prior to uninstalling the software. Now uninstall BEPS. (NOTE: After uninstalling, make sure the sentinel drivers do not appear in the ADD/REMOVE Programs list. If they do, remove them now.)
2) Install the BEPS software (Do not insert the USB Hardware key) & reboot the PC. After reboot wait till all resources load up, then insert the USB Hardware key. Once the USB key is recognized by the Operating System, reboot again and start the BEPS software.
