The 8900NET module also provides the functions for the Slot Config web
page for each media module in the frame (
Figure 36 on page 65 ). Media
module slots may be named to reflect specific functions for that slot or
module within the facility. The configuration for the module can also be
saved to slot memory on the 8900NET module. Setting made on this page
affect the 8900NET (Net Card) module’s actions.
Note Both frame and module names and configuration information can be saved
to file and recalled as necessary. This allows quick and easy reconfiguration
of the 8900NET module if it must be replaced or moved to another frame (see
Frame Configuration Web Page on page 39 ).
• Slot Identification – the module may be identified 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.
The module may also be assigned an asset tag identifier by entering text
or numbers into the
Asset Tag field. A maximum of 23 characters is rec-
ommended for the identifier to appear completely on the media
module Status web page.
Note Asset tag functionality is not available on all media modules.
• Locate Module – when enabled by selecting the Flash pulldown, the Locate
Module function flashes the yellow COMM and CONF LEDs on the front
of the module to make it easy to locate in the frame.
Note This function is not available on all modules and may operate differently on
some modules (only the COMM LED will flash).
• Slot Memory – the slot configuration for each media module is automati-
cally polled and refreshed periodically (about every 50 minutes) by the
8900NET module when the
Always Slot Refresh checkbox on the 8900NET
Configuration web page ( page 57 ) and/or the Restore upon Install
checkbox on any media module Slot Config web page ( page 63 ) 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 configu-
ration 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.
