Startup Configuration File
The ML-Series card needs a startup configuration file in order to configure itself beyond the default
configuration when the card is reset. If no startup configuration file exists in the TCC+/TCC2 flash
memory, then the card will boot up to a default configuration. It will not be possible to establish a Telnet
connection to the card until a startup configuration filed is loaded onto the ML-Series card. Access to
