Common causes for failing the Memory Card Matc h Test (#697) are:
■The customer has had a recent up grade and is using an old card.
■The card is not formatted for announc ements.
Always use 4 MB memory Cards, 10 MB memory c ards should only be us ed
when a 4MB card gives an e rror in the CAP-MEM Maintenance Object Test #1014
(Memory Card Capacity Test). 10 MB cards must also be used if a DEFINITY
Wireless Business System is connected.
A memory card has a write-p rotect switch along its ed ge. If the write-protect
switch is enabled, the memor y card cannot b e written to.
The 12-volt power supply unit loc ated in Processor circ uit pack supp orts the
erase and write operations of on-b oard flash memory devic es. The unit also
supports the memory c ard inserted in the Processor ci rcuit pack. If the 12 volt
power supply unit c annot be turned on to sup ply 12 volts, all erase and write
operations fail. Refer to 12V-PWR (12 volt power supply) Maintenance
documentation for a detail ed descrip tion.
To write data (for example, translations) onto a memory card, the system software
first erases the memory card and then writes the data. An erased b it can be
written again, but a written bi t cannot be chang ed or written again until after the
next erasure. Software erase and write operations on a memory card take long er
as the card usage inc reases. A memory card that cann ot be erased or written to
by software should be rep laced.
Removing A Memory Card From The Slot
A memory card can b e removed from the slot at the Processor circ uit pack only
when the yellow/red LED with a label "EmgXfr/card-in-use" is not glowing .
Otherwise, the memory card ope ration might be interrupted abnormally, and the
files stored in the memory card may become corrup ted.
Resolving an Alarm Raised Against a Memory
Card
The list that follows discusses the p rocedures for resolving an alar m that is raised
against a memory card:
1. Remove the inserted memory card from the slot at the Processor circuit
pack while the "EmgXfr/card-in-use" amber LED is not glowing .
2. Insert the new formatted memory c ard firmly into the slot at the Processor
circuit pack.
3. Enter the test card-mem command to verify the new memory c ard.
4. If the alarm cannot be resolved by replacing the memory card, do the
following:
