Card Load Preferences
1.8 Software Load Management
1.8.1 Card Load Preferences
Once a software load is present in the control module FLASH file system, it can be designated as the target soft-
ware load for one or more cards using the parameters on the SET CARD command. The setting can be PREF-
LOAD, ALTLOAD, or TEMPLOAD.
1.8.2 Load File Verification
When software load files are created, a CRC value is calculated and written into the internal file data. Once a
file has been transferred to the control module FLASH file system (and to Service Module FLASH), the file con-
tents can be verified by recalculating the CRC value and comparing it to the internal CRC value. In the unlikely
event that there is a mismatch between the value, the file is designated corrupt.
File CRC validation is performed on all load files (those with the ".tar" extension on the file name) in the con-
trol module FLASH file system a follows:
immediately after a restart or swap of activity
•
periodic audit (every 24 hours)
•
whenever a user enters the AUDIT FILES command
•
File CRC validation is performed on individual files when:
•
the file is being designated as a parameter on the SET CARD command
•
the file is being used during the card restart sequence, as a result of system action or manual command
•
(RESTART CARD or ENABLE CARD)
As mentioned above, the user can audit system files using the AUDIT FILES command. Following is an example
of the use of the command.
