Nortel 1000E Maintenance Manual page 61

To activate an initialization (warm start) on the Call Server, press the
initialize button on the CP card.
An initialization occurs automatically after the System Loader program runs,
when a software or firmware fault is detected, and when a Core Equipment
hardware fault is detected.
Midnight and Background Routines
In the Configuration Record (LD 17), select the nonresident software
programs that run in the Midnight Routine and Background Routine. These
routines automatically perform maintenance checks. Programs included
in the Midnight Routine are defined with the prompt DROL (derived from
"daily routine overlay"). Programs included in the Background Routine are
defined with the prompt BKGD.
The Midnight Routine runs once every 24 hours. This routine is preset
to run at midnight when a system is shipped. Assign a different time in
the Configuration Record. When the Midnight Routine starts, the system
cancels any other program.
A memory test runs once a day. The Core Equipment Diagnostic (LD 35)
runs as part of the Midnight Routine, even if it is not programmed.
The Background Routine runs when no other program is loaded in the
overlay area. The programs included in the Background Routine run in
sequence repeatedly until there is another request to use the overlay area
(for example, if you log on to check the status of a circuit card) or the
Midnight Routine runs.
For the CS 1000E system, include the programs listed in
used in Midnight and Background Routines" (page 62)
Background Routines. Software Audit (LD 44), and Network and Signaling
Diagnostic (LD 30) should always be used in the Background Routine.
