Configuring the Network
The StreamView LS2020 configurator is used to create a global configuration database for your
LS2020 network and to load appropriate configuration information into each LS2020 switch in the
network.
For detailed information about these high-level procedures, see the LightStream 2020 Configuration
Guide.
Backing Up Distribution Diskettes
By default, LS2020 chassis (platform) software is installed at the factory on the hard disk prior to
shipment of the unit to a customer site. However, if you come into possession of distribution
diskettes for a new LS2020 software release and you are concerned about how carefully they may
be handled and stored, you should back them up before proceeding with any new software
installation.
In the following procedures, it is assumed that you have access to a PC running DOS 5.0 (or later)
and which supports at least one 1.44 MB floppy disk drive. It is also assumed that you have a supply
of at least 15 blank, DOS-formatted 1.44 MB diskettes.
Note
operation. You can also use the diskcomp command to verify the copy operation. Refer to your DOS
documentation for additional information about these commands. Do not use the dir command to
display the names of files on the distribution diskettes. There is no FAT (DOS file allocation table)
on LS2020 distribution diskettes; thus, there can be no FAT on backup diskettes. If you enter dir a:
or dir b: in an attempt to display distribution diskette files, DOS responds with a read error message.
If Your PC Has Two 1.44-MB Floppy Disk Drives
To back up each LS2020 software distribution diskette, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
Using the diskcopy /v command in this procedure, you can verify the correctness of the copy
Insert the first distribution (source) diskette in floppy disk drive A.
Insert a blank, formatted (destination) diskette in drive B.
Enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
diskcopy a: b: /v
C:\>
DOS then copies the data from drive A to the backup diskette in drive B.
At the conclusion of the first copy operation, DOS asks if you want to perform an additional
copy operation.
Press Y and insert the next distribution (source) diskette into drive A.
Continue copy operations until all the distribution diskettes are backed up.
