Operator Actions
In superuser mode you can initiate several operator actions (see figure 9) which will cause the T-DAC to oper-
ate according to the descriptions in the following sections.
Figure 9. Operator Actions buttons
Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1))
Clicking the button labelled Record Current Configuration causes the T-DAC to save the current configura-
tion in permanent Flash memory. In other words, configuration changes made in the subsystem web windows
become permanent when you click Record Current Configuration.
Configuration changes in the T-DAC are made by clicking a button labelled Submit Query on any of the sub-
system window. When you click Submit Query, the T-DAC stores the parameter values in volatile DRAM
(dynamic RAM) only. Since the Submit Query changes take immediate effect, the administrator can test dif-
ferent configuration parameters without needing to change the Flash configuration each time.
Without clicking on Record Current Configuration, all configuration changes will be lost if the power is
recycled. After doing the Record Current Configuration save, the current configuration of the T-DAC will
not be lost when The T-DAC is powered down.
Hard Reset (hardReset(2))
This button causes the T-DAC to perform a cold restart. When you select Hard Reset, the T-DAC requests
confirmation before executing the command, after which, the T-DAC will disconnect all current sessions, re-
initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from Flash memory.
T
he most important step after completing the configuration is to
save it in permanent memory by clicking on Record Current
Configuration.
