Chapter 3

Operation

3.1 Turning On the Unit

³ To turn on the unit:

1. Before first-time turn-on, check that the installation and the required cable

connections have been correctly performed in accordance with the

instructions given in

Chapter 2

2. Set all the sections on the rear panel E1/T1 LOOPBACK switch to OFF.

3. To enable monitoring the FCD-E1LC during power-up and preliminary

configuration procedures, it is recommended to connect a terminal to the

CONTROL DCE connector of the FCD-E1LC.

Any standard ASCII terminal (dumb terminal or personal computer emulating

an ASCII terminal) equipped with an RS-232 communication interface can be

used to control the FCD-E1LC operation. For best results, use VT-100 terminal

emulation. To monitor the power-up process, configure the terminal for any

rate supported by the FCD-E1LC (1200 to 115200 bps), one start bit, eight

data bits, no parity, and one stop bit. Select the full-duplex mode, echo off,

and disable any type of flow control.

FCD-E1LC does not have a power on/off switch, and therefore it will start

operating as soon as power is applied.

4. Connect power to the FCD-E1LC.

5. The FCD-E1LC PWR indicator turns on; the other indicators turn-on for a start

time, and then turn-off.

6. Wait for the completion of the power-up self-test and initialization. This

takes about one minute.

7. Press <CR> several times in sequence to establish communication with the

FCD-E1LC. The terminal will then display various messages during the

power-up.

A typical display, which notifies you of the results of its power-up self-test is

shown below:

FCD Self Test in Progress ... OK

FCD Self Test in Progress ... Failed

In the latter case, you must repair or replace FCD-E1LC before you can

continue using it.
