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.
