I have a mics system that has started losing programing and going back to the default system startup when it loses power.

Is the battery/capacitor that holds this information in the software cartrige or is it on the backplane of the ksu itself.
Will replacing the software cartridge fix the problem.

thank

Honest officer,I know I've been thinking but i ain't thunk yet
 
yes the customer database is stored in the cartridge
 
It depends on the version. If there is a pcmcia card in the ram cartridge then it is stored on the ram cart. If it is 3.0 or lower it is stored in the cabinet.
 
thanks guys
its a 4.1 so i will order me a new cartridge,

Ok I got the following from the Installer Guide. So it looks like the Features or found on the Flash Card & the actual programming is on the NVRam.

The NVRAM assembly cartridge has a slot for a credit-card
size PC-card, which are also referred to as Flash cards. These cards contain the system software and accommodate future system memory requirements and software downloading.

Note: Your system information remains on the NVRAM unit
that the CS ROM cartridge fits into.
 
i thought the sys id stayed with the controller. if you change the controller you change the sys id. if you change the sys id you loose the keycode
 
Example
If have a system is at rls 1 NVRAM and swap it out to Rls 2 so you can upgrade to latest softwares notice the programming stays?
And also the way to default the programming aside for Startup is to short the cap on the KSU.
The book states system info but no System ID, ID is with KSU.
System info meaning additional data or perhaps additional data thats on the KSU but also on the NVRAM or expanded RAM on the one piece units.
The NVRAM is pretty much the PC that runs the Windows in a sense and does the call processing etc. It can also hold things like user preferences such as Display Contrast.
If you take an NVRAM thats was on another system you could get a cold start on your system.

Thats my take...but i'm just a curlycord.
