CLRVEC Overview
---------------

CLRVEC is a tiny script generator out of a collection of tools, AVAYA did not provide for their Definity range of switches. We've used CLRVEC for switches starting from Release 6 up to Release 11. Be aware, that the vector masks changes, if you enable new features in your switch. The same applies to disabled features. In any case we recommend to test the output of CLRVEC in a non-dangerous part of your vector area.

Before using CLRVEC prepare an input file listing all vectors to be cleared. Each vector number should be placed in a seperate line as shown in the sample file CLRVEC.SAMPLE.

To send to output of CLRVEC to the screen, just enter

C:\>CLRVEC <INFILE>

from the command line, where <INFILE> is the name of your vector list. To create a script file, enter

C:\>CLRVEC <INFILE> > <OUTFILE>

instead, where <OUTFILE> is the script file you wish to create. As a next step, start Terrnova Terminal Emulator or Avaya Terminal Emulator (a Win32 Version of Terranova supplied with Definity Site Administration) and run the script. Verify to have selected the right terminal emulator (AT&T 513BCT).

The script has several wait steps included, so there should be no timing problem with NETCON channel connections and for sure not with IP connections. We've tested it also with Modem Connections. If you really have a bad connection, you might consider to replace WAIT 1 by WAIT 2 using a text replacement tool or a wordprocessor.

We hope, that this tiny tool can aid you in your administration efforts. Be advised to get comfortable with it before using it, otherwise you might loose valuable information.
