Configuration Card Personality Parameters - Xerox WorkCentre C2424DX Service Manual

Configuration Card Personality Parameters

Information stored on the configuration card includes the ethernet address, and
personality parameters. The printer model configuration is determined by a
combination of printer hardware capabilities. Feature value and ethernet address are
configured at the factory, and are "read only". The feature value is fixed in the
configuration card, and does not change. Ethernet address is stored only on the
configuration card, and cannot be rewritten. The ethernet address is not written to the
NVRAM chip.
Personality parameters are a subset of network configuration parameters, which are
populated to the configuration card over time as the system is configured by the
customer. The personality parameters are copied, or "shadowed", from the main
board's NVRAM chip to the configuration card during the normal operation of the
printer. When the configuration card is inserted into a new printer, the personality
parameters on the configuration card are written into the NVRAM chip of the new
printer. When a printer is powered on, if it contains the configuration card of another
printer, the personality parameters are automatically copied to the NVRAM chip. If
the configuration card is removed, the system will reboot as a "B" (non-networking,
non-duplexing) model..
