Table contains slot level information such as status, status change time, card type and software version. It is indexed using slot identifier. Empty entries are indicated using status empty and card type none. Operator can provision a new card in the system by setting slotCnfType parameter in this table. Changes to the slot configuration are temporary until user actually requests save operation through systemSaveCnfg. Only at that point system writes information in the NVRAM storage and information becomes permanent.
