Copying a configuration from
one slot to another is just one example of the many ways in which the Point
System's
Configuration Management
features can be used. Open the Focal Point application, and open the Cabinet view(s) of the
source and destination devices.
Tell the Management Module which device(s) should receive the
configuration changes:
This is done by entering one or more keywords into the the
Group Control String
blank on the main Focal Point screen. In this case, the keywords should be
in the form "BBBBBB[S]" where BBBBBB is the serial number of the cabinet in
which the destination device is installed, and S is the slot of the
destination device, both without leading zeroes. (This is one of the
Automatically Defined Keywords
described elsewhere in this document.)
The serial number of the cabinet can be found either on the main screen or
the Cabinet View Screen of Focal Point. Device Slot numbers are numbered
from left to right with slot '1' being on the far left, and Power Supply
Slots are numbered starting with slot 125.
The next time the cabinet view refreshes, the "EDIT" indicator will appear
on the destination device(s).
Click on the image of the source device on the Cabinet View Screen to
open its Details Screen.
Apply the configuration attributes you wish to copy by clicking the
appropriate "Apply"/"Set"/"Enable/Disable" buttons next to the fields on
the screen.
- Clear the
Group Control String
blank.
