CAUTION
Do not change the disk mode to PRIME; this would cause one
of the disks to write all of its data onto the other disk. All of the
data on the other disk would be lost.
(continued)
Notes
A new AMA file must be opened.
Turn on the display of block headers as they
are written to disk for a visual indication of
current AMA traffic.
Save to disk.
Inform the Collector of your intentions. This
session takes the oldest primary AMA data
from the first disk. New AMA data, if
received at this time, is saved on this disk.
The polling session ends when all of the
oldest primary AMA data has been read
from this first disk.
(Optional step.) Enter this command if you
wish to keep track of the AMA files to be
polled.
Write any remaining call records to the AMA
data file. (Note 5)
Determine if there are any more AMA
blocks to be polled. This is new data.
Repeat step 10. After 3 attempts, if new
data keeps coming in and this is lowest
traffic, a tape must be cut from DIRP and
sent in for processing.
