3. Terminal Administration
A downloadable terminal is automatically downloaded when translation changes associated
with downloadable parameters are made as part of system administration. As shown in the
previous table, these changes can be for a specified terminal or may be system-wide. If the
change is for a system-level parameter, a background global update request must be
submitted to download every programmable terminal.
Note:
Note: This global update may take more than an hour for a system with several
thousand programmable terminals.
4. Port Insertion
Whenever maintenance software initiates a request to place a port into service, a terminal
download action is begun on that terminal, if that terminal is programmable. This port
insertion action occurs under the following circumstances:
● A digital line circuit pack that is physically inserted into the system and has ports currently
administered for programmable terminals.
● A station port is added to the system by add station or change station.
● A TTI port is activated.
5. Audits
As part of periodic maintenance, the Hardware Status Audit test queries programmable
terminals to determine which levels and/or options are being used. If the reported values
are not equal to the administered values, the system will initiate a terminal download action;
however, this audit does NOT check the parameters used for softkeys.
6. Activation of TTI
A terminal is downloaded automatically when it is activated using the TTI (Terminal
Translation Initialization) feature. Therefore, no special user actions are required for TTI.
Note:
Note: Plugging the station cord into a terminal does not automatically cause the
terminal to be downloaded. If this terminal has factory defaults or if the terminal
has been previously downloaded with parameters different than those desired,
use one of the demand download actions described below to download the
terminal.
