Moving Config Files Between T:LANs

Until now, the RCC contained a filter to prevent a user from accidentally uploading a SECURE MODE TCF (T:LAN Configuration File) to a STANDARD MODE T:LAN. This implementation was carried out as follows:

Scenario	TCF File	T:LAN Mode	Result	Reason
A	SECURED TCF	SECURED T:LAN	Allow	Expected Behaviour
B	STANDARD TCF	STANDARD T:LAN	Allow	Expected Behaviour
C	SECURED TCF	STANDARD T:LAN	Warn User & Block	To Prevent Communication Issues
D	STANDARD TCF	SECURED T:LAN	Warn User & Allow if ACKed	Asks User whether or not to proceed

Starting with RCC Version 3.11.0.695, the behaviour has now been modified to:

Scenario	TCF File	T:LAN Mode	Result	Reason
A	SECURED TCF	SECURED T:LAN	Allow	Expected Behaviour
B	STANDARD TCF	STANDARD T:LAN	Allow	Expected Behaviour
C	SECURED TCF	STANDARD T:LAN	Warn User & Block	To Prevent Communication Issues if T:LAN Running OS<BN7589
C	SECURED TCF	STANDARD T:LAN	Warn User & Allow if ACKed	If T:LAN Running OS>=BN7589, Then The User Will Be Asked Whether Or Not To Proceed
D	STANDARD TCF	SECURED T:LAN	Warn User & Allow if ACKed	Asks User whether or not to proceed

The change in behaviour is in scenario C. If the T:LAN has been loaded with BN7589 (or newer), then the user will be warned regarding the step he is about to perform but the operation will be allowed to proceed if the user ACKed the request.

NOTE: BN7589 and up contain a check to prevent restoring the OPL group settings and OPL Server Records if the unit is not in SECURE MODE. Older versions do not have that check and might cut off the user from the unit if restoring a SECURE TCF to a STANDARD MODE T:LAN.
