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.
