Flashlink Web Interface 46

The hot swap conﬁguration restore mechanism is also the basis of the stored conﬁguration reload

function. After copying the stored conﬁguration ﬁles back to their original location, all cards are

released in order to run the hot swap conﬁguration restore function when they are rediscovered.

Control and monitoring will be lost for a brief period ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes,

depending on how many cards are controlled by the system.

8.4.3.1 Transfer System Conﬁgurations

This procedure is written to explain how card conﬁguration may be transferred from one Flashlink

module to another module of the same type. Note both cards should have the same ﬁrmware

revision.

Transfer between modules in the same Flashlink system:

1. Goto “CONFIG -> Flashlink -> Stored system conﬁgurations” menu in the web interface

2. Create new stored conﬁguration by entering name and clicking “Save”

3. Telnet to the Multicon controller, default login is “root” and “password” and enter the

following commands:

cd /cf/configs/<stored_configuration_name>

cp <source_card_no>.sav <dest_card_no>.sav

1. where <source_card_no> and <dest_card_no> is 10*FrameNumber + SlotNumber-1 (e.g.

10*1 + 5-1 = 14 for frame 1 and slot 5)

2. Repeat the above step for multiple cards if necessary

3. Goto “CONFIG -> Flashlink -> Stored system conﬁgurations” menu in GYDA-SC web

interface

4. Load stored conﬁguration by clicking on name and “Load”

This procedure may be automated using a script if necessary and this is recommended if used

extensively.

It is also possible to transfer conﬁgurations between diﬀerent Flashlink sub-systems, but in this

case they.sav ﬁles above needs to be FTPed between the Multicon controllers handling the two

Flashlink sub-systems.

8.5 Debug Terminal

The debug terminal allows you to issue Flashlink Protocol commands directly towards the mod-

ules in the Flashlink sub-system. This is only useful for debugging purposes and is generally only

used when instructed by Nevion Support. The commands accepted by diﬀerent Flashlink modules

are described in the user manual for respective module.

The Debug Terminal is accessed from the CONFIG tab -> Debug terminal.

Figure 8.8 shows the

output of the info command for a downconverter card.
