5.3.11 Using Custom Loads to Reduce Unneeded Card Types
Standard loads are defined to load software for all card types a device may support at a given release level. In most cases, this
will be more software than necessary since most devices will not contain all possible card types. Download times and
memory usage will be greater than necessary. To streamline software configuration, create a Custom Load containing only
the necessary files. Leave the fields for the unneeded files blank. You can use the Details display of a standard load as a guide
to see the names of the files you do need.
Figure 5-56 shows a Load Details window for a Standard Load that can be used as a guide for creating a streamlined Custom
Load. Filenames can be copied/pasted from this display to the custom load display (Use ctl-c/ctl-v on Windows, left-click/
middle-click on Solaris)
FIGURE 5-56 Details Display for Standard Load (Used to Create Custom Load of Only Certain Files)
Figure 5-57 shows a Custom Device Loads window in which a custom load has been built that supports only the ADSL24A,
CFC6, and POTS24 card types on a 7400.
