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.
