2.3.1 Adding system units to the optical ring
In case system units are added to the optical ring
when the system is powered on, unexpected
behavior can occur. Only connect units to the
optical network when all units are powered off.
2.3.2 Audio disruption during powering
During powering up/down a CCU in a Multi CCU
system the audio on the delegate units, connected
to the remaining CCU’s, is shortly disrupted for 1 to
2 seconds.
2.3.3 Loss of the Interpreter Desk
In case the Network Controller (NCO) in a Multi
CCU system is rebooted within 30 seconds after
change of the Interpreter Desk configuration, the
configuration can be lost and the interpreter desk
will be uninstalled.
