Configuration ID

Each time you change and save a unit's configuration, the configuration editor automatically assigns a configuration ID number to the file. The ID format is CYYMMDDS:
C:      indicates the file was created through the configuration editor as opposed to an NMS session. Configuration files created or saved during an NMS session begin with an N.
     If a file is modified through an NMS session, the unit's status will be magenta, indicating that the configuration file installed on the unit is not the same as the one save in the configuration database.
YY:      represents the year the file was created.
MM:      represents the month the file was created.
DD:      represents the day of the month the file was created.
S:      indicates the file's sequence number beginning with 0.
 

Code Version

This parameter identifies the product software release code version you want to install on the unit. Each time you install a new version, the program stores it in your management system's RELEASE sub-directory.
From the pull-down list, select the code version you want to install on the unit. If no versions appear in this list, you need to install the product software release code for the unit you want to add.
