MODE DESCRIPTION
PrgLd
FPGALd
These modes happens automatically when a control program or FPGA is
being downloaded to a network element as described in Topic 3.14 on
page 50.
Norml This is the normal operating mode. In this mode RF signals can be
transported normally.
Stdby This mode can be started by selected Stdby from the pull-down menu. In
Standby mode, the host unit stops transporting RF signals and tries to
conserve power.
Stdby mode can be exited by selecting Norml or Test.
Test This mode can be started by selecting Test from the pull-down menu. In
Test mode, the host/remote pair keeps transporting RF signals even if an
alarm exists that would otherwise stop signal transport. This mode is used
during installation to turn up a host unit or remote unit and start it
transporting RF signals. Alarms would otherwise prevent RF signals from
being transported.
Test mode can be exited by selecting Norml or Stdby.
CAUTION! Care is needed to prevent damage to the system in Test
Mode!
