Cool

Iron City;

Actually VSCS takes about 35 minutes to reboot now... If that were to happen though we would switch over to VTABS and would continue working until the reboot was complete.

For those who don't know, VTABS ( VSCS Training and Backup Switch) was installed since we didn't feel that we wanted the live system hooked to the training communications switch, as well as we wanted to have something that would work in the event that we took a power bump or a software problem with VSCS. VTABS has a battery backup that is independent from the critical power UPS and system just in case. The system has been VERY reliable however...
