ED-64M Director Operating Features
IML Function When the small, white IML button on the CTP card is pressed and
held for three seconds, the director performs an IML (Initial Machine
Load). The director reloads firmware and resets both CTP cards
without switching off power or affecting operational fiber optic links.
An IML performs essentially the same functions as an IPL (Initial
Program Load), but resets both CTP cards instead of just the active
CTP card. Refer to IPL Function on page 1-19 for more detail on the
IPL process.
An IML causes the link between the ED-64M and the Connectrix
service processor to drop momentarily. Pressing the IML button and
holding it for three seconds causes the following to occur in the
Product Manager window:
◆
As the network connection drops, the ED-64M Status table on the
Hardware view turns yellow.
◆
The Status field in the table displays
No Link
and the State field
displays the reason why the link did not occur.
◆
A Link Loss Status table appears.
◆
A gray square appears in the alert panel.
◆
The FRUs illustrated in the Hardware view disappear, and then
reappear as the connection is reestablished.
