1.43.4.3 Configuration File Tasks
The following list describes some important tasks for using the LineAdapt utility and its
configuration file. These tasks relate to certain actions that affect the contents of the
configuration file. For more information on these actions and their effects, see Discovery,
Initialization, and Storage of Optimum Settings in Section 1.43.5, “LineAdapt Utility
Command Line Interface”, on page 145.
Back up the configuration file
It is good practice to back up the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml when adaptation is complete.
Having a backup copy of the file is a good idea especially if you remove a board and
replace it later, or if you move a board to a different slot.
Add to the configuration
You can add optimum coefficients to the configuration at a later time. You can run the
utility multiple times and select individual boards to add to the configuration without
changing or replacing the configuration of targets that have already been optimized.
When you run the utility, simply select the new targets to adapt (boards/channels) and
these will be added to the configuration.
Remove a board from the configuration or
Remove selected channels from the configuration
You can remove from the configuration file the line adaptation settings for all channels
on a target board and return that board to its default configuration. You do this by
physically removing the board from the chassis and then running the utility to adapt
any channel on an existing board. You can also remove a board or selected channels
from the configuration by editing the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file (see the
following topic on Board and Channel Identification in the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml
Configuration File).
Note: To remove the optimum settings for all boards, you can delete the
LineAdaptOptCoef.xml file or execute LineAdapt -r.
Replace a board in the chassis (in case of board failure)
If you replace a board with the same type of board in the same slot and attach the
trunk cables to the same port locations on the board, you do not need to make any
changes to the configuration file or re-adapt for the new board. The same optimum
settings apply to the new board, because optimum settings apply to the board type in
a given slot and to the line conditions on the trunk.
Move a board to another slot (in case of a slot failure) or
Move analog trunks/lines to another board of same type
If you want to move a board that has optimum settings existing in the
LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file to another slot, as when a slot failure occurs,
you can edit the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file to change its location. This
allows you to reconfigure the board for the new location without the necessity of
running the LineAdapt utility to rediscover its optimum settings. You can change the
slot number only if the same telephone lines remain attached or are re-attached to the
same ports on the board.
Similarly, if you want to move the analog trunks/lines from one board that has optimum
settings existing in the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file to another board of
the same type but in different slot, you can edit the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml
configuration file to specify the slot location of the board. You can change the slot
