How to Store an Island Configuration in a Removable Memory Card
Introduction
When you replace an STB NIP 2311 NIM with another STB NIP 2311 NIM, you can
configure the replacement NIM with the parameter settings of the original NIM if you
saved the island parameters to a removable memory (SIM) card. The SIM card
(along with its saved configuration settings) can be transferred to the replacement
NIM.
Storing the Island Configuration to a Removable Memory Card

Step Action Comment
1 Power off the STB NIP 2311.
2 Remove the memory card.
3 Remove the old NIM and insert a new NIM
in its place in the island assembly.
Both NIMs must have the same part
number, in this case STB NIP 2311.
4 Make the rotary switch settings on the
new NIM identical to those on the old NIM.
5 Insert the memory card into the
replacement NIM.
6 Cycle power to the NIM. The replacement NIM is now
operational, with the same Ethernet
parameters as the old NIM.
