XMU+ Installation and Maintenance Guide rev.07 79
Understanding the XMU+ Firmware Hierarchy
Main Menu Hierarchy - Multiple Partition Mode
When the XMU+ is operating in Multiple Partition mode, the following configuration
structure represents the Front Panel Main Menu, from which all configuration
commands originate. There are three Main Menu categories in the XMU+ firmware:
 Cards - used for card setup and Starting Node.
See Card Menu Hierarchy - Multiple Partition Mode on page 79 for more
information.
 System - Used to define system parameters, settings and maintenance.
See Card Menu Hierarchy - Multiple Partition Mode on page 79 for more
information.
 Partition - Used to create, delete, and modify partition parameters. See Partition
Menu Hierarchy - Multiple Partition Mode on page 80 for more information.
Note: In the single partition hierarchy, messages and nodes are top-level options. In the
multiple partition hierarchy, message and node configuration options are
dependent on the partition selected, and are therefore found under the main
partition menu.
Card Menu Hierarchy - Multiple Partition Mode
Users can view card information and details from the Front Panel by navigating
through the card menu hierarchy. Card is a top-level menu option, since line card
options are independent of XMU+ partitions.
The configuration structure of the Front Panel system menu when XMU+ is operating
in Multiple Partition mode is exactly the same as the menu displayed in Single
Partition mode. See Card Menu Hierarchy - Single Partition Mode on page 77 for more
information.
