NOTE
References to common, but differing, parameters between the Total Access
3000 and the Total Access 3010, such as number of slots, will be conveyed
by the convention a/b. The “a” represents the Total Access 3000 parameter
and the “b” represents the Total Access 3010 parameter. For example, the
differing number of access slots in the two platforms, 28 for the Total Access
3000 and 22 for the Total Access 3010, would be displayed “28/22.”

Introduction
The Total Access 3000/3010 SCU (System Controller Unit), in conjunction with a
TFTP server, provides the ability to manually or automatically store the system
configuration for use during disaster recovery. In addition to its use for fast recovery
of system provisioning in the case of flood or fire, the SCA (System Configuration
Archive) system may be used to ‘clone’ baseline system configurations to new
installations so that only a few system-specific provisioning options need to be altered.
This can significantly reduce initial setup time.
The system administrator may access and control the SCA system using EMS,
terminal menus, or SNMP. The administrator can perform manual saves of SCA
information to a TFTP server or can schedule automatic save operations for certain
times of the day. Scheduling save operations will help to reduce simultaneous SCA
system generated network traffic.
The SCA system save operation saves backup information from all modules present in
the shelf, including the SCU, cell switch modules, and access modules. The restore
operation allows the administrator to control which modules provisioning options are
to be restored.
NOTE
SCA menus and operations are available only to privileged administrator-
level accounts
