How to Get PMT Security a Copy of the AmanoNET Access Control Database
Before PMT Security can perform an upgrade of your AmanoNET Access Control System to OMNIA, we need a copy of your current database for evaluation and compatibility testing. This ensures installed access control hardware and configurations are accurately assessed for transition.
Making a Backup of Your AmanoNET Database
AmanoNET uses either a Firebird database or a SQL database. The file type will determine which files you need to copy.
Locate the Database Folder
Access your server or workstation where AmanoNET is installed and navigate to:
C:\AmanoNet\Database
There may be multiple database files in this folder.
Firebird Database
If your system uses a Firebird database, the file will be named:
AmanoNet.FDB
This file will not contain extra characters before, after, or in the middle of the name, and it should reflect the current date in its filename.
SQL Database
If your AmanoNET installation uses SQL, you will see two associated files:
- DB400
- DB400_log
Both files are required for a complete export and must be included in the upload.
Best Practices for a Clean Export
To help ensure a reliable, non-corrupted copy of your database:
- Create a backup of the database before exporting.
- Upload the backup file — not just the live database — to avoid partial or locked file issues.
Using a backup also preserves the integrity of the database for testing.
Reference Articles for Database Backup
We recommend consulting detailed Knowledgebase articles for guidance on backing up specific AmanoNET database types:
- AmanoNet Back-up using IB Console — covers Firebird database backups.
- mproNet/AmanoNet Database Backup: SQL — explains SQL database backup procedures.
These articles walk through the necessary steps to safely export your database.
Uploading Your Database to PMT Security
Once you have the backup files ready, contact Technical Support to receive a secure upload link.
