Save and Send NIM Audio Board Configurations

When channel configuration of the selected NIM is complete, the Site Channel Configuration dialog box changes must be sent to the CEC/IMC before the changes will take effect. This reprograms the NIM Controller Boards. However, it is important to save the new configuration prior to sending it to the CEC/IMC because a send will send the last configuration saved to disk; saving first ensures that the actual CEC/IMC channel configuration will be the same as the channel configuration stored on the CEC/IMC Manager hard disk. To save and

send configurations, action is

Save

Choose the Save button to perform an immediate save of the currently selected site-type interface module's channel configuration. Other "sites" displayed in the list box located at the top of the dialog box are not saved. This channel configuration is saved on the CEC/IMC Manager hard disk drive. Any previous channel configuration for the "site," if present, is erased and replaced with the current channel configuration. If the CEC/IMC Manager is running remotely or as a part of the EDACS Network Manager, this configuration is saved on the CEC/IMC Manager server, typically local to the CEC/IMC; it is not saved at the remote location.

Save As...

Choose the Save As… button to allow the currently selected NIM channel configurations to be saved as a different NIM. It is provided to speed configurations when similar configurations are required. Upon choosing Save As… a small dialog box (See Figure 17) will appear which allows selection of a new NIM number. Select the desired NIM number from one of the choices in the drop-down list box, the choices listed are the selected NIMs in the Configured/Active Sites list box. Like Save, Save As… stores channel configuration on the CEC/IMC Manager server.

For example, if "Site 3" is the currently selected site-type interface module and "Site 12" requires similar configuration settings, this button may be used to save the "Site 3" configuration as "Site 12" (save to "12"). The new "site" may then be changed later, as required, by
