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 required first in the
Site Channel Configuration dialog box and then in the
Site Channel Configuration List dialog box.
Site Channel Configuration dialog box
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
