2.4 Loading the system configu-
ration from the ACA
The AutoConfiguration Adapter (ACA) is a device for
X storing the configuration data of a Switch and
X storing the Switch software.
In the case of a Switch failure, the ACA makes it possible to easily transfer
the configuration data by means of a substitute switch of the same type.
When you start the Switch, it checks for an ACA. If it finds an ACA with a valid
password and valid software, the Switch loads the configuration data from
the ACA.
The password is valid if
X the password in the Switch matches the password in the ACA or
X the preset password is entered in the Switch.
To save the configuration data in the ACA, see "Saving locally (and on the
ACA)" on page 59.
