• Disabling the device address for the dialer or a dialer account deletes all event messages sent to that account

that was in the dialer queue before the account was disabled.

Disabling and enabling option cards
Option cards can include hardware layer cards and modules, and operator layer control-display modules.
Disabling a card isolates it from the system. While the card is disabled, the VM-1 logs the status change signals
but is prevented from processing the signals until the card is enabled.
The VM-1 keeps track of how many times you disable a card without enabling it. You must enable a card the
same number of times you disable it in order to return the card to its original condition.
Option card addresses are listed in Appendix B “Addresses” on page 189.
Note: Disabling an Ethernet card may affect IP services. Table 19 below shows the IP services and how they are
affected.
