Chapter 3The Configuration ProcessThis Chapter describes the configuration management process on the PR-6606 using aWeb Browser.OverviewThe PR-6606 contains a quite flexible configuration management system. By using this system correctly,one can remotely configure, save copies of that configuration to a PC, make configuration changes for lateractivation, and remote transfer firmware upgrades to the unit.There may be up to three configuration “images” in use at any time.1. The active configuration. Normally, this is the configuration that was loaded from memory when theunit was last booted. However it may have been changed since boot time as described below. This isthe configuration that is currently running the unit.2. The pending configuration: This is the current configuration that was loaded form memory during thelast boot along with any changes made by using the configuration screens. This configuration isNOT the configuration running the PR-6606 at present.3. The stored configuration. This is the configuration that was last written to the non-volatile RAM. Thenext time the PR-6606 is power cycled, it will start running this configuration.Note that any configuration transfer (with the Administration Configuration Transfer screen) is the pendingconfiguration. You can load a configuration file from the PC, then either activate it to test it. Or, save itwithout activation if you don’t want to change the currently running configuration.Using the Configuration FlexibilityWhen the PR-6606 starts from a power-off condition, it loads an active configuration from its non-volatilememory. This active configuration is also copied to the working memory and is the “pending”configuration.Whenever the configuration screens are used to change values, only the pending configuration ischanged… not the active configuration.Using the configuration screens will change the pending configuration. You may change the activeconfiguration by copying the pending configuration over it. This change is performed using the “ActivateConfiguration” screen. Going to this screen activates the pending configuration by copying the pendingconfiguration over the top of the active configuration. This does not store the configuration in non-volatilememory. When the hardware is next reset or powered up, it will begin using the old stored configurationfrom before the changes were made and activate command clicked.Using the “store configuration” screen will copy the pending configuration into non-volatile memory. Itwill not cause this configuration to begin running. However, upon the next reset or power cycle, thePR-6606 will begin using the stored configuration.It is possible to activate the pending configuration using the Activate Configuration screen and then storethe configuration using the Store Configuration screen. This two step process will cause all threeconfigurations to be identical.12 |
