| Description | This object is added only for FRSM12 card.
This counter tracks the number of configuration changes
that happen on a channel. The counter is
associated only with the end point and NOT with the
connection itself.
This counter is used by the NMS to determine if a connection
configuration had been modified and requires an upload.
This functionality is conventionally achieved by time
stamping using a time-of-day clock. However, in switches
where time-of-day clock is not available, the following
scheme is used:
The upload counter is incremented, when:
* assignment of connection to an end point channel. This
happens when a connection is added and assigned this
channel number.
* de-assignment of connection from a channel number. This
happens when a connection is deleted and the
end point resource is released.
* When there is a configuration change done to the connection
that is associated with this end point channel number.
In a new system, an unutilised resouce (channel number)
has a counter value of zero. When a connection is added to
this channel end point, the counter is incremented. And is
incremented for any of the above operations. When a connection
is deleted the value of this counter is incremented and
preserved till a new connection gets associated with this
channel end point.
