Use the Slot Config web page shown in Figure 22 on page 45 to perform the
following functions on the module:
Locate Module
Selecting Flash from the Locate Module pulldown flashes the yellow COMM
and CONF LEDs on the front of the module so it can be located in the
frame.
Slot Identification
You may identify the module 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.
An asset identification may be entered in the Asset Tag field. This will appear
on the module Status web page and in the NetConfig inventory report.
Slot Memory
The slot configuration for each media module is automatically polled and
refreshed periodically (about every 50 minutes) by the 8900NET module
when the
Always Slot Refresh checkbox on the 8900NET Configuration web
page (with version 4.3.0 software) and/or the Restore upon Install checkbox
on any media module Slot Config web page ( Figure 22 on page 45 ) is
selected.
When the Restore upon Install checkbox on any media module Slot Config
web page has been selected, the current configuration from that module is
saved in slot memory on the 8900NET module. This allows the current
module to be removed and when another module of the same type, part
number, and software version is installed, the configuration saved to the
8900NET module will be downloaded to the new module. The
Restore upon
Install checkbox must be selected before the current module with the saved
configuration is removed.
Note Make sure all modules of the same type are running the same software
version and have the same part number silk-screened on the printed circuit
board. Downloading a configuration to a module with a different software
version or part number can produce unexpected results.
If a different type of module is installed in this slot, a warning message will
state that the original module type has been replaced with another module
type. In this case, a
Clear button will appear allowing you to clear the stored
configuration from the previous module.
