Site Channel Configuration List dialog box

Send

Choose the Send button to send the T1/E1 site channel configuration data to the respective interface module. This procedure must be performed before the interface module will operate with the new configuration. Only configured and configured-and-active (C and C/A prefixes) configurations may be sent. All configuration data is sent to the MOM Controller Board; the T1/E1 configuration is sent directly out from there to the respective interface module Controller Board. A "Send to Site Successful" message will be received to confirm that the data was received by the interface module Controller Board. Bus Slot configuration data is based on the channel assignment in the Set Site Channel Disbursement field (one bus slot per channel assigned) and is compared to the current configuration at the CEC/IMC Manager; if different, it is sent to the MOM Controller Board (if not, no further action is taken by the system) and when the MOM Controller Board receives this new data it will send an acknowledgment message back to the CEC/IMC Manager, which will then display the confirmation box: "Do you want to activate TDM Bus Slots? OK - will cause all CTRL boards to reset." Choose OK to activate TDM Bus Slots (resetting Controller Boards) with the new Bus Slot configuration data, choose Cancel to not activate TDM Bus Slots with the new Bus Slot configuration data (keeping the previous configuration) and return to the Site Channel Configuration List dialog box.

Close

Choose the Close button to exit the Site Channel Configuration List dialog box and return to the CEC/IMC Manager main window. Any "**" (unconfigured and unsaved) sites appearing in the Configured/Active Sites list box will be removed and returned to the Configurable Sites list box.
