SWP, RES, RIB, and DAT commands for survivability

To ensure the database synchronization on the MG 1000T Core and the Survivable MG 1000T Expansion(s), the Swap (SWP), Restore (RES) and Restore Backup (RIB) commands are modified to produce the same results on the Survivable MG 1000T Expansion(s), as on the MG 1000T Core.

The optional parameter, [<cab#>], enables the technician to select a specific MG 1000T Expansion. If no parameter is provided, the command is first performed on the primary controller. The technician is then prompted with a confirmation request. If <YES>, the command is performed on all Survivable MG 1000T Expansions.

As with the database download operation, preliminary security checks are performed by the primary controller against the Survivable MG 1000T Expansions’ security ID and software release. If these security checks fail for any MG 1000T Expansion, synchronization is aborted for that MG 1000T Expansion.

SWP command

The SWP command is used to swap the regular and “*.bak” copies of the database on the primary flash drive. It restores the database to the state prior to the most recent datadump.

Figure 156 on page 469 illustrates the operation of the SWP command. Only one MG 1000T Expansion is shown for illustration purposes.

RES and RIB commands

The RES command restores data from the MG 1000T Core’s external PC Card drive to its (c:) drive and all Survivable MG 1000T Expansions’ (c:) drives.

The RES command is illustrated in Figure 157 on page 470.
