Step

Action

1

At the prompt, invoke txcpcfg by entering the following command:

txcpcfg

txcpcfg displays the bus number, slot number, CP number, and CP model of all the TX boards that are present and configured.

Bus    Slot    CP Number    CP Model
2      2       1            TX 4000
2      4       2            TX 4000
2      6       3            TX nnnn

where nnnn is 4000 for a TX 4000, TX 4000/20, TX 4000C, or TX 4000/20C board.

2

Record the bus and slot values for the TX 4000C board that you are updating.

3

Change the CP number of a board by entering the following command with the updated CP number:

txcpcfg   bus   slot   updated_CP_number

where

  • bus is the bus number of the TX 4000C board that you are configuring.

  • slot is the slot number of the TX 4000C board that you are configuring.

  • unique_CP_number is a number you assign. Valid CP numbers within the system start at 1 and must be unique. They do not have to be consecutive.

For example, enter the following command to change a CP number of 3 to a CP number of 4 for the board with a bus number of 2 and a slot number of 6:

txcpcfg  2  6  4

Verify the configuration change by entering the following command:

txcpcfg

txcpcfg displays configuration information for the board. The following example indicates a CP number of 4 for the TX board with a bus number of 2 and a slot number of 6:

Bus    Slot    CP Number    CP Model
2      2       1            TX 4000
2      4       2            TX 4000
2      6       4            TX nnnn

where nnnn is 4000 for a TX 4000, TX 4000/20, TX 4000C, or TX 4000/20C board.

Save the configuration changes.

In a Windows system, configuration changes are saved automatically. In a UNIX system, configuration changes are deleted when you restart the system. Save the changes by editing the cpcfg file as described in Saving configuration changes.
