specific slot. 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.
• If you perform discovery with the utility, it always results in board initialization with the
optimum settings discovered.
• Storage of optimum settings depends upon the command line parameter used. If you
execute the utility in Command Mode with the -t parameter for temporary discovery,
the optimum settings discovered are not stored in the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml
configuration file for future initializations. If you execute the utility in Prompting Mode,
or in Command Mode with the -a parameter or the -b -s parameters, the optimum
settings discovered are stored in the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file for
future initializations.
• You can execute the utility more than once to add to or change the settings stored in
the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file. If you perform adaptation on a new
target, the settings will be added to the configuration file. If you perform adaptation on
any target that already exists in the configuration file, those settings will replace the
ones in the configuration file.
• If you physically remove from its slot a board that has optimum settings existing in the
LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file and then perform line adaptation with stored
results for any target, the settings for the “missing” board will be deleted from the file.
This is true whether you remove the board from the chassis or move it to another slot.
However, if you do not perform line adaptation with storage and only perform a system
startup or initialize the boards with or without the utility, an error message is recorded
in the LineAdapt.log file, but it will not delete the settings for the missing board from
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.
• If you disable, stop, or do not start a board that has optimum settings existing in the
LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file, and then you perform line adaptation for any
target, an error message is recorded in the LineAdapt.log file, but it will not delete the
settings for the disabled board from the LineAdaptOptCoef.xml configuration file.
LineAdapt Command Line Parameters
Command Line: LineAdapt [ -parameter [value] -parameter [value] ... ]
Square brackets indicate optional items. An ellipsis (...) indicates that the preceding items
can be repeated. A vertical bar or pipe symbol (|) indicates that the items on either side of
the bar are mutually exclusive.
This utility supports the following command line parameters. Most of the parameters are
flags. If more than one parameter is used, they must be separated by a space. For
parameters that specify values, a space between the parameter and its value is optional;
however, for readability they are shown without a space in examples (so as to distinguish
the parameter/value pairs from one another more easily).
Note: All parameters can be used in Command Mode.
