Abstract
An improved method is disclosed for automatically updating databases contained in the random access memory and tape storage of a cellular switch. First, instructions are issued to a cellular switch, causing the switch to provide a first output of one or more operative databases contained in the random access memory of the switch. Then, one or more backup databases are loaded into the random access memory of the switch, and instructions are issued to the switch causing the switch to provide a second output of the backup databases. The first and second outputs are then analyzed by a computer program, and in response to the analysis the program automatically assembles a number of cellular switch compatible software commands into a text file. Finally the text file is transmitted to the switch, thereby updating databases contained in the random access memory and the tape storage of the switch.
