There are several different scenarios that cause a terminal to be downloaded. These can occur as part of background maintenance activity or on demand from the system access terminal or from a station.

For the following background actions, the terminal downloads automatically if a download retry flag for the terminal is set in software. This flag is set:

• At boot time when translation is loaded.

• When translation that affects the parameters of a terminal is changed as part of system administration action.

• When a port is inserted in software as a result of board insertion or translation change.
