The configuration is stored in a file within the device and is read each time the device is started. It is usually stored in

the flash memory. In some models, however, an external device such as a smart card can be used to store the con-

figuration, thus facilitating its transfer from one device to another. The information is compressed to make better use

of the space available on the smart card. Console commands are used to choose the means of active storage from

which the configuration is read and stored. These commands are explained in the Dm704-I Configuration and Monit-

oring manual.

The smart card has an integrated circuit where you can store and process information. The amount of space on the

card varies but is always in the order of kilobytes. Figure 11 shows the external appearance of the card: on one side

of the card you can see the integrated circuit, and on the other there is an arrow that indicates which way to insert

the card

Fig. 14: Smart Card: Aspect

The smart card is inserted in a slot on the router front panel. It must be placed in the slot with the arrow side facing

up and the chip side facing down. Insert the card carefully, following the arrow, until you hear a small click.

Fig. 15: Smart Card Slot

A LED next to the slot indicates card activity. This LED glows green when reading or writing to the card. It remains off

when there is no activity.

Note

DO NOT remove or insert the card when the activity LED is on. Data stored in the card may be lost if

you do so.

The smart card content can be viewed from the console or via FTP.

• In order to view the content of the smart card, or the free space, use the file list command on the configuration

menu (please see the Dm704-I Configuration and Monitoring manual). Since the smart card is fairly slow, it may

take a few seconds to respond.
