Operator Actions
In superuser mode you can initiate several operator actions (see
figure 9
) which will cause the T-DAC to oper-
ate according to the descriptions in the following sections.
Figure 9. Operator Actions buttons
Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1))
Clicking the button labelled
Record Current Configuration
causes the T-DAC to save the current configura-
tion in permanent Flash memory. In other words, configuration changes made in the subsystem web windows
become permanent when you click
Record Current Configuration
.
Configuration changes in the T-DAC are made by clicking a button labelled
Submit Query
on any of the sub-
system window. When you click
Submit Query
, the T-DAC stores the parameter values in volatile DRAM
(dynamic RAM) only. Since the
Submit Query
changes take immediate effect, the administrator can test dif-
ferent configuration parameters without needing to change the Flash configuration each time.
Without clicking on
Record Current Configuration
, all configuration changes will be lost if the power is
recycled. After doing the
Record Current Configuration
save, the current configuration of the T-DAC will
not be lost when The T-DAC is powered down.
Hard Reset (hardReset(2))
This button causes the T-DAC to perform a cold restart. When you select
Hard Reset
, the T-DAC requests
confirmation before executing the command, after which, the T-DAC will disconnect all current sessions, re-
initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from Flash memory.
T
he most important step after completing the configuration is to
save it in permanent memory by clicking on
Record Current
Configuration.
