Before You Start

Important Notice

 Carefully read the entire manual before operating.
 Make sure the source device is correct and functioning.
 Equal capacity of source and target is recommended for guaranteed data consistency.
 Using the Copy+Compare function provides the most flawless duplication.
 Damage incurred due to non-compliance with U-Reach operating instructions will void

the warranty.

 Store the equipment safely when not in use and keep out of the reach of children.
 Please turn off duplicator before replacing the socket.
 Never turn off the power while the firmware updating.

Product Overview

The MTS series is an ultra-high speed duplicator and each SATA port is independent. That's
why no matter how many targets are running it’ll provide the same performance speed, far
beyond PC-based duplicator capabilities.

The MTS series device duplicator is specially designed for professional use. The smart Quick
Copy mode supports FAT16/32/64, Windows NTFS, Linux ext2/3/4, and Mac HFS/HFS+/HFSX
formats which can copy only data contained area that provides increased production
efficiency. Furthermore, the innovative interface design allows for effortless device
swapping during operation, which reduces time and effort throughout repairing.

Complies with the U.S. Department of Defense's erasing standard (DoD 5220.22 M) and
Secure Erase (NIST 800-88). It is important to ensure that data contained on discarded
devices cannot be retrieved and can be securely transferred.

Product Features

Operation Type

Standalone, FPGA based operation (Non-PC based system design).

Controller Design

Embedded controller is designed to support capacities over 18TB+. Constant improvement
supports latest market-available devices.

Bandwidth Performance

MTS-SAS transfers speeds of up to 18.0GB/min (300MB/sec.). It has a dedicated bandwidth
that enables high volume replications without speed degradation.

Read Only Source Port

There is no option to disable this built-in feature and it is integrated with all U-Reach
duplicators.

Module Design

Modular ports effectively reduce downtime and is cost-effective for long term ownership.

Real-Time PC Monitoring

View live status for: writing/reading speeds, total capacity, current function progress per
port.

Event Log Management

Exclusive Log management records details on each port such as serial number and source
devices flow for improved production control.

Step 1: Click <Generate Log Report> in the field of LV07H screen <Log Data>.

30

Step 2: Select Date Range

After entering <Open Report>, select the date range for log report.

Step 3: Generate Report

After selecting the date range, click <Generate Report> to generate log report.
The duplicator can record up to 30,000 records of operational information off
the device. Each device operation is saved as one record. For example, 26
records will be recorded if data is copied from 1 device to 25 devices.

Step 4: Save Log as Text File

At the top-left of Log Data screen, select <File> then <Save to Text File>.

Note

If there is no record saved on the selected date, or record has been wiped out,

the program would show "No match records!"

31

Step 5: Save Log to the Specific Location

Specify a name and location to save the log.

Step 6: To Complete Output Log Reports

After successfully creating and saving the log, the report will be in the folder in
which it was saved.

Note

There are 4 files types to choose from when saving a Log Report:
.txt, .csv, .xml, or .pdf.

Caution

30,000 logs can be saved at one time. One device record is equal to one
recorded log.
(E.g. duplication from 1 device to 21 devices will be recorded to 21 logs.)

Real time PC-Monitoring

Real time PC-Monitoring is a convenient tool to monitor real time status of each
working port.

 Software Installation

The related driver and software icons for MTS series are displayed as follows:

Step 1: “LV07H” and “PL-2303” to your PC.

Step 2: Click on the icon “PL-2303” to start installation.

Step 3: Make sure the installation has completed.

 Start to Launch PC-Monitoring

Step 1: Please confirm that driver “PL-2303” has been installed properly.

LV07H: PC-Monitoring driver for device duplicators.

PL-2303: USB-to-Serial program connects the computer’s

USB-port to the duplicator’s.

33

Step 2: Connect USB cable from computer to the duplicator.

Step 3: Power on the duplicator.

Step 4: Launch LV07H by double clicking on software icon "LV07H ".

Step 5: When the following screen is shown, the duplicator has linked to the

computer successfully and is ready to use real-time monitoring function.

Step 6: If the screen above does not appear, please repeat steps 1 thru 4.

Caution

 Before Step 4, make sure the duplicator has booted up completely.
 Since there will be some configuration files when launching LV07H, make

sure to do so on a PC and not through the optical drive.

34

Using the PC-Monitoring Feature

Step 1: When duplicator status indicates it’s online, open the monitoring screen.

The program is ready to work when the status displays “STANDBY”.

Step 2: Execute a “Copy/Compare” on the duplicator.
After placing source & target devices into duplicator and executing a task, the
program will display all related device information. It captures detailed
information from each device via PC-Monitoring, e.g. device model, S/N, copy
speed, etc. It also records all operational progress.

Note

Please select only one computer to do all PC-Monitoring. This will prevent PC
from operating other tasks simultaneously as PC-Monitoring information can
rapidly synchronize.

Note

Copy speed varies during operation.

35

Step 3: After duplication, the program will display the average speed of each
device.

7.4.1 Clear All Log

Clear all log records.
Scroll to select "7.4.1 Clear All logs”, then press "OK" to clear all log records.

36

7.4.2 Password Setup

Allows password change.
Scroll to select "7.4.2 Password Setup”, then press "OK" to change to desired
password.

7.4.3 Adjust Clock

Change time and date.
Scroll to select "7.4.3 Adjust Time/Date”, then press "OK" to adjust the time and
date.

Caution

Before using function “Clear ALL Log” during PC connection, please observe the
following steps:

1. Close the PC-Link software (LV07) or 2. Disconnect the duplicator from PC

*The PC-Link software (LV07) is designed to continuously record log reports. If
user executes “clear log records” on the duplicator while LV07 is still running, the
conflict between LV07 and duplicator might lead a serious system error.
