Saving translations
DEFINITY ECS retains all translation data in memory while the system is
operating. If the switch goes down, you lose all translation data. You must save
in-memory translation data to the memory card (flash ROM), disk, or tape. Saving
translation data to memory card or tape is the same as backing up your system.
NOTE:
Save translations on a daily basis. You may want to save translations after
business hours to prevent dial tone delays or during slow business hours if
your business is open 24 hours.
The save translation command writes two time-stamped identical copies of the
translation data to the selected memory card, disk, or tape. The save writes one
complete copy first, then writes the second copy in a different area of the device
— both with the same time-stamp. Failure during a save, including a system crash,
usually affects only one copy. The affected copy is marked “bad” and should not
be used for backup.
You can set save translation to be completed automatically as part of regularly
scheduled maintenance or manually, as needed. For more information about
saving translations automatically, refer to the maintenance book for your system.
Tip:
To determine if your system saves translations automatically, type
display
system-parameters maintenance
to see if you have scheduled
maintenance.
Translation copy protection assigns a number to a specific phone system and to
the flash card or set of flash cards that belong to that system. On a G3csi or G3si,
this number is the same on both the translation storage device (flash card) and the
Flash PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) of the processor circuit pack.
In a duplicated system, the Flash PROM of each processor circuit pack has a
translation ID and both ID’s are stored on the memory card.
An attempt to initialize (boot) the system with translations that do not contain the
same identification number as stored in the processor circuit pack raises a major
alarm and disables access to the save translations command for all non-Lucent
logins. You also receive a warning message on the copyright screen notifying you
of the mismatch. Contact your Lucent representative to correct this mismatch and
reset the save translations command. You must correct the mismatch before the
