link
UUse the Slot Config web page shown in
to perform
the following functions on the module.
Note
This Slot Config web page reflects the use of 8900NET (Net Card) software
version 4.3.0.
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
T
he 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 4.3.0 software) and/or the
Restore upon Install
checkbox on any
media module Slot Config web page 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 part number,
and software version is installed, the configuration saved to the 8900NET
module will be downloaded to the installed module. The
Restore upon Install
checkbox must be selected before the current module with the saved con-
figuration is removed.
Note
Make sure all modules of the same model 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.
