Using the control panel to set the configuration ID

Control panel function 07 is used to query and set the configuration ID and to display the frame address of any tower connected to the SPCN network.

To perform this operation, verify that the following prerequisites have been met:

Control panel function 07 is used to query and set the configuration ID and to display the frame address of any tower connected to the SPCN network. Since the tower display panel will have the MTMS and not frame address displayed, a function is provided to display the frame address.

  1. If you were directed here from a FRU replacement procedure, the FRU that was replaced contained the non-volatile storage where the expansion unit machine type-model-serial (MTMS) was stored. The non-volatile storage where the expansion unit MTMS value is stored in a new replacement FRU is uninitialized. The system will detect the uninitialized value and assign an obvious, unique value of the form TMPx.xxx.xxxxxxx, where x can be any character 0-9 and A-Z. As a result, the location code of the expansion unit will change to UTMPx.xxx.xxxxxxx. Use the new UTMPx.xxx.xxxxxxx location code to power off the expansion unit. See the following notes, then go to Powering off an expansion unit. Then return here and continue with the next step.
    Note:
    1. Do not remove the ac power cord after powering off the expansion unit.
    2. If the expansion unit does not immediately appear on the service utility used to power off the expansion unit, refresh the utility periodically until it does. If a code update is occurring to the expansion unit, which is likely during a FRU replacement procedure that directs you here, it could take an extended period for the expansion unit to appear (possibly several hours on a large system).
    3. Remember to use the new UTMPx.xxx.xxxxxxx location code when selecting the expansion unit to power off if you were directed here from a replacement procedure.
    4. If you were instructed by the procedure that sent you here when you were powering off the expansion unit to use panel function 69 to power on the expansion unit, perform panel function 69 now (with the control panel set to manual mode) from the system unit control panel (even though the expansion unit is already on). See Control panel functions.
  2. Select function 07 on the control panel and press Enter.
  3. Select sub function A6 to display the address of all units. The frame address is displayed on all units for 30 seconds.
  4. Note the frame address on the unit that you are working on for use in the next steps.
  5. Select sub function A9 to set the ID of a tower.
  6. Use the arrow keys to increment/decrement to the first two digits of the frame address noted above.
  7. Press enter
  8. Use the arrow keys to increment or /decrement to the last two digits of the frame address noted above.
  9. Press enter
  10. Use the arrow keys to increment or decrement to a configuration ID for the type of unit you are working on:
    • 71 for 1519-100 or 1519-200 IXA
    • 81 for 5074, 5079, and 5097-002 expansion units
    • 89 for 5088 and 0588 expansion units
    • 8A for 5094, 5097-001, 5294, 8294, and 9094 expansion units
    • 8B for 5095 and 0595 expansion units
    • 88 for 7311-D10, 7311-D11, and 5790 expansion units
    • 8C for 7311-D20 expansion units
  11. Press Enter (078x 00 will be displayed).
  12. Use the arrow keys to increment or decrement until 07** is shown.
  13. Press Enter to return the panel to 07.
  14. Disconnect all ac power to the unit, wait for the display panel to go off and then reconnect the ac power.
    Note: The expansion unit will automatically power on.
