When the system resets, the configuration in the flash memory of the 1600 DSL module becomes the active configuration for that module.
•In Release 5.0 or later systems, a firmware upgrade can be performed on the 1600 DSL and 012E modules by using a Remote Access PC Card or a Backup/Restore PC Card that is configured for the firmware upgrade. See “Upgrading 1600 DSL and 012E Module Firmware” on page 62 for more information.
