A system and method for managing a configuration of a dial platform. The
operating system for the cards can be loaded and the modem chassis can be
configured. The process of loading different code to different cards is
automated, and the chassis is configured based on information collected
from the chassis prior to loading the code. The user interface allows a
technician to log into and choose a chassis, and select the type of work
to be performed. The choices made by the technicians are tracked. The
work is preferably performed during a maintenance window to minimize the
impact to the network.
