Card Configuration System Configuration and Operation
Be sure to configure each card according to your networking requirements. From the System
Main Screen, select each card in turn and change the options for that card from its Main
Screen. Select the
Save
command by pressing “
s
” after making all the changes for a card, then
press “
m
” to return to the System Main Screen and choose another card. Similarly configure
each remaining card in your system.
Once configured, the card settings are permanently stored in NVRAM on the Interface card.
This card is labeled INF on its faceplate ejector. You can then replace faulty cards in your
system without having to reconfigure the new cards.
If you replace a card with an identical new card type, the system automatically copies the
NVRAM data from its Interface card to the new card. However, if you replace a card with
different type of card, you must first delete the existing card settings from the slot before the
new card will be recognized by the system.
3.4.2 Replacing a User Card with a Server Card
The most common occurrence of this would be replacing a User card (voice or data) with a
Server card. The procedure for this is as follows:
1. Physically remove the User card from one of the slots U1/P1 to U3/P3.
2. From the Main Screen, highlight the card slot and press “D” (
D
el). This will delete all
settings from the removed card.
3. Place the new Server card in the slot and ensure that it is properly seated.
3.4.3 Recording Your Configuration Settings
You should always record the configuration option settings for each card after you set them.
This information may be needed later by other system operators. To record the card
configuration data, first photocopy the pages showing the Card Screens in the associated
chapters of this guide. Then, mark the option settings you want to use on those pages, and store
the pages in a safe place where they can be obtained by others.
You can also record screen settings by “capturing” each edited screen onto your computer
terminal while you are logged into the system. To do this, your computer must have a software
program capable of capturing the actual screens as text files. The communications software
you use to access the system may have this ability. You can then copy the screens to a word
processing program, print them out, and store them electronically.
