Bulk Download

A feature of the network management system where the Provisioning Manager (PM) builds the configuration files and sends the files to the Unified Network Configurator (UNC). The PM identifies the target devices for each file. When the UNC receives the file, it manages the download of the files to the Zone Controller (ZC). The ZC receives this bulk download of configuration data (RF sites, call parameters, etc.), subscriber data, and Home Zone mapping updates from the UNC. The zone controller uses this information to populate its Group Home Location Register (GHLR) and Individual Home Location Register (IHLR). This is a method of performing a Full Configuration Distribution (Force Initialize Configuration) or Configuration Change Distribution (Delta Configuration Distribution).
