Clone Remote in Point-to-Point Configurations

Before using Clone Remote in point-to-point configurations, perform the following:

•Make sure the 391x Series modems have an established leased-line connection using either V.33, V.32terbo, V.32bis, V.32, or V.29 modulation (refer to the Leased Line section in Chapter 4) or a dial network connection using either V.32terbo, V.32bis or

V.32 modulation (refer to Dial Line in Chapter 5, DCP Configuration).

•Make sure the remote modem’s Access From Remote configuration option is enabled (refer to the Misc section in Chapter 5, DCP Configuration).

•Make sure the password (Remote Access Password configuration option) is the same in both the local and remote modems. (For an example of how to change the password, refer to the Editing and Saving a Configuration Option section in Chapter 5, DCP Configuration.)

After completing these checks, proceed to Implementing a Clone Remote Operation on page 7-12, which follows the descriptions of multipoint cloning operations.

Clone Remote in Broadcast Configurations

A tributary modem configured for extended diagnostics (Diagnostic Connection configuration option set to Modem(DC)) can perform two types of Remote Clone operations. It can clone the upstream, VF connected, control modem (SC_Clone) or it can clone all the 391x modems attached to its downstream Diagnostic Channel (DC_Broadcast).

From the Choose DLL Type screen, press the F1 key to select SC_Clone to request the transfer of an exact copy of the tributary modem’s firmware to the VF connected control modem.

Proceed to the section titled Implementing a Clone Remote Operation, which follows the descriptions of multipoint cloning operations.

Cloning DC Broadcast Remote

Before using Clone Remote in DC Broadcast configurations, make sure the tributary modem’s active poll list contains all the network management addresses for the control modems that receive the download (refer to Chapter 6, Poll List Branch), and ensure that the control modems are responding properly to polls (refer to Chapter 9, Sub-Network Health and Status Branch).
