Model 2604 E1/T1 DACS Getting Started Guide
3 • Configuring the DACS for operation
Figure 21. Immediate Actions buttons
From the
Home
page, the following actions can be performed:
•
Record Current Configuration
—clicking on this button (see figure 21) saves the current configuration in
volatile DRAM memory to FLASH memory. Once the configuration is saved into FLASH memory, the
configuration will not be lost even if the power is cycled on the DACS. Initially, any changes made to the
DACS configuration are stored in volatile RAM first, enabling the user to set the box up with a working
configuration before committing it to storage in FLASH. The configuration changes become permanent
when you select
Record Current Configuration
.
Note
If you want to save the configuration changes that you have made,
you must click on
Record Current Configuration
, otherwise all con-
figuration changes will be lost if the power to the DACS is turned off.
•
Hard Reset
—this button (see figure 21) causes the DACS to perform a cold restart. When you select
Hard
Reset
, the DACS confirms that you want to execute this command. Then, the DACS will disconnect all
current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
•
Set Factory Default Configuration
—this button (see figure 21) clears out the configuration in FLASH and
loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on
the DACS until it is re-booted by doing a Hard Reset.
Note
Set Factory Default Configuration
(figure 21) will delete any routing
information, the DACS’s Ethernet IP address, and any other site-spe-
cific settings made for your particular installation. You will have to re-
enter the DACS’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the rear
panel control port before using the HTTP/HTML
Management pages.
