1. Bring the FOCUS chassis “on line”.
Click on the “Online” speed button
.
This uploads to the FCS the current status,
settings, operating statistics, etc., for the
FOCUS chassis — and the 6NE module.
2. Unlock the FOCUS chassis.
If the chassis is locked, execute the “Unlock
Configuration” command on the FCS Setup
menu or click on the “Unlock FOCUS
Chassis” speed button .
This puts the chassis — and the 6NE module
— into a configurable state.
3. Insert the Module into the FOCUS chassis.
Carefully insert the 6NE module into the top
and bottom grooves of an* open slot on the
FOCUS chassis. Slide it all the way in until it
is well seated in the slot. Lock it into place
using the black ejector clip on the front of the
module.
When you first insert the module, 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.
4. Connect the interface module to the
FOCUS chassis.
Attach the appropriate interface module to the
rear of the FOCUS chassis so that it connects
to the module.
5. Connect the proper wiring/connector to the
interface module.
The 6NE interface is shown in Figure 24-1.
24.4.2 Software Settings
Once you have completed the hardware installa-
tion/connections, you can configure the 6NE
module using the FOCUS Configuration Software
(FCS). See figure 24-2 for a look at the configura-
tion window of the 6NE module.
There are basically two items you need to
configure with this module. One is the N value (1-
x), and the other is to enable WAN B.
Fig. 24-3 shows how to map a 6NE module. When
setting N for values greater than 2, it is necessary
to leave empty chassis slots to the right of the
Figure 24–4. 6NE Status Indicators.
* depending on N value (see section 24.4.2).

WAN B enabled).
