System Configuration and Operation Card Configuration
Be sure to configure each card according to your networking requirements. From the System
Main Screen, select each card in turn and change the options for that card from its Main
Screen. Select the
Save
command by pressing “
s
” after making all the changes for a card, then
press “
m
” to return to the System Main Screen and choose another card. Similarly configure
each remaining card in your system.
Once configured, the card settings are permanently stored in Non-Volatile Random Access
Memory (NVRAM) on the Interface card. This card is labeled INF on its faceplate ejector.
You can then replace faulty cards in your system without having to reconfigure the new cards.
If you replace a card with an identical type new card, the system automatically copies the
NVRAM data from its Interface card to the new card. However, if you replace a card with
different type of card, you must first delete the existing card settings from the slot before the
new card will be recognized by the system. The System Main Screen will display the new card
type with a status of “
REJ
” (
Reject
).
If a card (voice or data) in a slot is going to change with a different type proceed with the
following:
1. Physically remove the card from the slot.
2. From the Main Screen, highlight the card slot and press “D” (
D
el). This deletes all
settings from the removed card slot.
3. Place the new card in the slot and ensure that it is properly seated.
4.5.2 Recording Your Configuration Settings
You should always record the configuration option settings for each card after you set them.
This information may be needed later for system operation. To record the card configuration
data, first photocopy the pages showing the Card Screens in the associated chapters of this
guide. Then, mark the option settings you want to use on those pages, and store the pages in a
safe place where they can be readily obtained.
You can also record screen settings by “capturing” each edited screen onto your computer
terminal while you are logged into the system. To do this, your computer must have a software
program capable of capturing the actual screens as text files. The communications software
you use to access the system may have this ability. You can then copy the screens to a word
processing program, print them out, and store them electronically.
