Deactivate Board

 

When this item is selected, the CTP operator will be prompted for a board number.

 

The board number is entered, and the CTP determines the status of the board and

 

replies with a status of Active, Deactivate or Fault. If the status is anything other than

 

active, the deactivation cannot proceed. The process of deactivating the board will

 

cause the keepalive heartbeat from being confirmed or responded to by the selected

 

board. The normal alarms will be generated during this procedure.

Activate Board

 

When this item is selected, the CTP operator is prompted for a board number. The

 

board number is entered, and the CTP determines the status of the board and replies

 

with a status of Active or Deactivate. If the status is anything other than Deactivate

 

or Fault, the activation cannot proceed. The operator is informed of this and

 

prompted for board number. The process of activating the board causes a software

 

reload and restarting of the board. The normal alarms are generated during this

 

procedure.

Booting

 

The Board Management Boot Record menu item brings the current configuration of

 

the Board Management parameters into the running configuration and makes them

 

operational. The path to the Board Management Boot record is Main->Boot->Board

 

Management.
