23.3.4 Configure FCA Trap Table
Using the FCS, you can custom select which traps
you would like to receive. This is useful in config-
uring your environment specifically to your needs
(see fig. 23-4). By default all traps are selected.
You can save and restore your settings in a .tcf file
for future use or recovery purposes. This is done
similarly to saving a FOCUS configuration file. It
is strongly recommended that you save a copy of
your .tcf file. Please see the online help facility for
more detailed information.
23.4 Specifications
Specifications for the FCA Module are shown in
Table 23-2
23.4.1 Status Indicators
This module has five status indicators, as shown
in Figure 23-2. The red/green status LED is green
if the module is functional and red if the module is
non-functional. The green “TX” LED, when lit,
indicates that the module is transmitting data. The
green “RX” LED, when lit, indicates
that the module is receiving data. The
red “Trapping Enabled” LED when
lit, indicates enabling of Traps. The
second green LED is for future use.
23.5 Acceptance Test
As noted earlier, we recommend that
you initially install and test FCA
modules in a “test” chassis (i.e.,
chassis that are not part of an
operating network). This way, you
can quickly perform the acceptance
tests without interfering with a live
network.
To conduct these tests, you will need
the following:
• One FCA module, interface & cable
• One FOCUS chassis
•Ethernet access
•APC or laptop
To test the functionality of the FCA module,
complete the following steps:
1. Install the FCA module and interface.
If the module and interface have not been
installed, do so now following the instructions
in the “Installation” section, earlier in this
chapter.
When you first install the FCA module in a
live, unlocked chassis, the red/green status
LED is red. If the module is functional, the
status LED turns green within 20 seconds. If
the module is non-functional, the status LED
stays red, even after 20 seconds have elapsed.
This is the first acceptance test.
