Advanced Slot Info

The Advanced Slot Info window contains card-specific settings.  Click on the "Features List" to see and modify those settings.

 

If you edit any settings, the Features List will be disabled until those changes are Apply'd or undone/Refresh'd.

 

 

Redundancy

Redundancy Enabled indicates whether the card should reroute traffic through the backup port if the active link goes down.  A checkmark indicates Redundancy is on.

 

Homing is a feature of remotely manageable cards, and refers to redundant toplogy settings.

Single Homing means the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) trunk is redundantly linked to one Central Office (CO)."

Dual Homing indicates the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) is cabled to two separate Central Offices (COs)."

Both options are greyed-out when Homing is unavailable."


Memory Banks

Some cards have the ability to maintain multiple firmware images, so that while one image is running, a new version can be downloaded into a separate non-volatile storage area.  When a card has multiple images stored, you may choose which to run by selecting it as the Next to run.

 

After the change is Apply'd, the managed device will remember to use the Next image the next time it restarts.  If no pop-up window offers to effect the change immediately, you will need to Cold Reset the card from the Slot Info window.
