Specs
• With an Admin Port (see Admin Port on page 4-6).
• Through the Wi-Fi or 10/100/1G testing menu.
• Through an active MoCA synchronization with a MoCA-capable module.
This functionality is designed to facilitate the maintenance of an external field management system that
may be used to track unit inventory and testing results. When the feature is active, the unit immediately
begins the upload of any record files that begin with the following prefix, as soon as an IP interface is
configured:
INVRES
Note the following important aspects regarding this functionality:
• The unit will prohibit any user activity while an upload is in progress. If the unit detects a lack of
progress for a period of time, it will abort the process and try again the next time an IP interface is
configured.
• A file is automatically deleted following a successful upload.
• Files with an INVRES prefix may be viewed on the unit, but cannot be manually deleted.
• Between periods of IP connectivity, files with an INVRES prefix will collect on the unit as testing is
conducted. If the amount of data begins to exceed internal limitations, the unit may start deleting
older files automatically.
• Some tests on the unit automatically save results without user intervention, in which case the
filename will always begin with INVRES and thus qualify the file for automatic upload.
• The location to which files are transferred is fixed internally and cannot be changed, except to
download a new set of “system settings.” These settings include a switch that may be used to disable
the feature entirely. For more information, see Record Manager > Download System Settings on
page 4-6.
•Any Record Manager files that do not begin with INVRES may be managed on the unit with the
standard toolset; however, they cannot be transferred from the unit with FTP. If transfer is desired, a
USB device must be used (see Record Manager > Upload Files on page 4-5).
• All result files include additional important information about the unit and the user. Alternatively, you
can manually invoke the transfer of this data at any time. For more information, see Record Manager
> Inventory Upload Verizon on page 4-5.
4.1.2 Record Manager > Test Result Files
This function allows you to view and manage files currently on the unit. The actions that may be invoked
by the respective function key include:
