1 The TN799C C-LAN circuit pack can be the source for a C-LAN-distributed download but cannot be the target
circuit pack for either a self or C-LAN-distributed download because it is not a programmable circuit pack (no
P suffix).

download
The source circuit pack is always a C-LAN, either TN799DP
or TN799C.
Multiple target circuit packs of the same TN code can be
scheduled for download at a time.
Self download
The source and target circuit packs are the same.
Each circuit pack must be scheduled for download
individually.
