Using the Built in Editor
The switch has a built-in full-screen text editor for editing script files stored on
the switch file subsystem. Scripts can be run manually, or run when a trigger
automatically activates on some specified events in the switch. See “Triggers”
on page 50, and the Trigger Facility chapter in the AR Series Router Reference
Manual at http://www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/support/rapier/
. The editor is invoked
with the command:
EDIT [filename]
The file name is optional as a file can be loaded, or a new file can be created
from within the editor itself (Figure 6 on page 12).

Install Information
The INSTALL module is responsible for maintaining install information and
loading the correct install at boot. A release is a binary file containing the code
executed by the switches CPU. There may also be a patch file, and additional
binary file that modifies the original release file. An install is a record
identifying a release and an optional patch. Three installs are maintained by
the INSTALL module, temporary, preferred and default.
The default install is the install of last resort. The release for the default install
can not be changed by the manager and is always the EPROM release. The
patch for the default install may be set by the manager.
