| Just a comment here. Just because some cards may be duplicated, the off line cards should never be pulled out hot. When swapping out control cards, the cabinet (or carrier) should be turned off. The cards in the numbered slots can, for the most part, be pulled out hot and the only impact is whatever service is using that card, i.e. stations, trunks, aux trunks, etc. Some cards in numbered slots should never be pulled out hot, two examples would be Definity Audix and MapD. __________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
