62 8900NET—Instruction Manual
Using the 8900NET GUI
Media Module Slot Configuration
The 8900NET module also provides the functions for the Slot Config web
page for each media module in the frame (
Figure 36 on page 63 ). Media
module slots may be named to reflect specific functions for that slot or
module within the facility. The configuration for the module can also be
saved to slot memory on the 8900NET module.
Note Both frame and module names and configuration information can be saved
to file and recalled as necessary. This allows quick and easy reconfiguration
of the 8900NET module if it must be replaced or moved to another frame (see
Frame Configuration Web Page on page 39 ).
•
Slot Identification –
the module may be identified by typing a specific
name in the
Name
field. The assigned name is stored on the 8900NET
module and travels with the 8900NET module if it is moved to another
frame. Select
Default
to enter the factory default module name.
The module may also be assigned an asset tag identifier by entering text
or numbers into the
Asset Tag
field. A maximum of 23 characters is rec-
ommended for the identifier to appear completely on the media
module Status web page.
Note Asset tag functionality is not available on all media modules.
• Locate Module – when enabled by selecting the Flash pulldown, the Locate
Module
function flashes the yellow COMM and CONF LEDs on the front
of the module to make it easy to locate in the frame.
Note This function is not available on all modules and may operate differently on
some modules (only the COMM LED will flash).
•
Slot Memory
– the slot configuration for each media module is automati-
cally saved periodically to the 8900NET module in that frame. You may
also select the
Learn Module Config
button at any time to save the current
configuration for this slot. The configuration is saved on the 8900NET
module. If the 8900NET module is removed or powered down, the
stored configurations are not saved.
When the
Restore upon Install
box has been checked, the current configu-
ration saved to this slot is saved as slot memory. When the current
module is removed and another module of the same type and software
version is installed, the configuration saved to the 8900NET module
will be downloaded to the new module. The box must be checked
before the current module with the saved configuration is removed.
Note Make sure all modules of the same type are running the same software ver-
sion. Downloading a configuration to a module with a different software
version can produce unexpected results.
