Initial configuration of MC 32S card
The MC 32S card is shipped from the factory with a blank compact flash
card. When the card first powers-up, it boots from a Gold Control and
Signaling Processor (CSP) image. The Gold CSP image is a scaled-down
version due to size restrictions on the on-board compact flash card. You
must format the compact flash card and install the full CSP software before
the MC 32S card functions to its full capability.
The software for the MC 32S card consists of five files, which are located in
a zip file and stored on the Signaling Server. All Gold versions of firmware
are loaded on the MC 32S when the card is shipped from the factory.
Configuring the Leader and Follower on the MC 32S
When the MC 32S card is configured as a Leader, the card obtains its IP
address from NVRAM and not from the bootp server. The Leader card
becomes a bootp server for any Follower cards present on the node. The
Leader card also has an impact during an election of the node Master.
During an election, a card programmed as the Leader card wins an election
over a card programmed as a Follower card.
The Master of the node is determined by a TPS election. Whenever a new
card comes on line or goes offline in a node, an election is held. The Master
of the node also becomes the bootp server. The bootp server responds to
bootp requests from the Follower cards and provides the cards with their
IP configuration.
