In AS2000 nodes, the
Enable Downline load Firmware?
option gives permission for an operator logged in with LEVEL4 access to
download a new “personality”---or features---to the circuit elements in
that node. The actual code download is executed from the Utilities menu.
■
To allow code download to the circuit elements in that node, select
YES
.
■
To prevent downloading to the node, select
NO
(default value).
After installing the node and verifying that it is ready to be connected to
Access Manager, set the
Node Installed and Operational
option to
YES
. This option should only be set if three conditions have
been satisfied:
1. The communication link to the node has been installed.
2. The node has been installed and tested locally.
3. The connection is known to operate properly.
If you set this option to
YES
when adding a node while Access Manager
cannot successfully communicate with the node, an error message is
generated and the installed option is reset to
NO
.
If you set this option to
YES
when editing a node and Access Manager
cannot successfully connect to the node, this option stays set to
YES
.
The first configuration item to be entered is the node definition.
