Save your configuration changes
The BayStream platform overwrites the configuration changes in memory
when it reboots. Save your changes. If you made changes using Configuration
Manager in dynamic mode, select File > Save or File > Save As to copy the
configuration from memory to the medium.
Back up your files.
Store backup copies of the configuration files on the Site Manager
workstation. Use a log to record the location, name, purpose, and backup date
of every configuration file you back up. Organizing and naming the backup
files on the Site Manager workstation can also help you prevent confusion.
Maintain consistent files in multiple memory cards.
If the BayStream platform uses multiple memory cards, make sure that each
file is consistent in each memory card designated for storing files of that type.
For example, if you change a BayStream platform's software image or
configuration file, save the file to each memory card that contains the same
files.
To make sure that the files of the same name are consistent on multiple
memory cards, display the directory of each card and compare the sizes of
each file.
Handle memory cards carefully to prevent static damage.
Static electricity can damage memory cards; always use an antistatic wrist
strap when handling them.
Call the Bay Networks Technical Solutions Center if a Technician
Interface prom command fails. Do not reboot.
If you reboot after a
must reinsert new programmable, read-only memory (PROM) chips on the
board and rewrite the PROM software to them before the BayStream platform
can recover.
