On-line Operations 19-7
Copying a SmartSwitch 1800 Directory to/from a PC
This operation applies only to a SmartSwitch 1800 with a PC attached to
the Console port. The PC must be running Procomm Plus with ZMODEM.
The procedure was tested using Procomm Plus 2.1 for Windows, but other
versions containing ZMODEM should also work. It is assumed that anyone
performing this procedure knows how to use ZMODEM.
This operation places a heavy load on the SmartSwitch 1800's
central processor, and should be performed only when there is
minimal traffic on the node.
This operation copies an entrire directory from an SmartSwitch 1800 to the locally
attached PC and back. This is useful for backing up the SmartSwitch 1800's configu-
ration database.
