8. Set the real time clock.
This procedure sets the FOCUS clock to the
same time and date as your PC. So before
performing this step, make sure that the clock
in your PC has been set to the correct time.
For instructions on setting the real time clock,
please refer to the FCS online help facility
(Common FCS Procedures > Setting the Real
Time Clock).
9. Read the real time clock.
For instructions on reading the real time
clock, please refer to the FCS online help
facility (Common FCS Procedures > Setting
the Real Time Clock).
Verify that the real time setting is correct.
10. Test the signaling push-button.
Before performing this step and the next,
make sure the PLOW is included and enabled
on the test chassis and, if available, a neigh-
boring chassis.
Push the handset signaling push-button on the
front of the module.
Observe the SEND LED just above it (see
Figure 4-3) to make sure it comes on. Also
observe the neighboring chassis to make sure
the RECV LED comes on there.
11. Test the RECV LED.
Push the digital phone signaling button on the
front of the neighboring chassis. Observe the
RECV LED on the test chassis (see Figure 4-
3) to make sure it comes on.
12. Test the LOCK and UNLOCK LEDs.
Lock the chassis using the “Lock
Configuration” command on the FCS Setup
menu or click on the “Lock FOCUS Chassis”
speed button . Observe the LOCK LED on
the test chassis (see Figure 4-3) to make sure
it comes on.
Unlock the chassis using the “Unlock
Configuration” command on the FCS Setup
menu or press the “Unlock FOCUS Chassis”
speed button . Observe the UNLOCK LED
on the test chassis (see Figure 4-3) to make
sure it comes on. Note: the default password is
“focus1”.
13. Set the DS0 channel assignments and the
mode/synchronization settings.
Use the FCS to configure your channel
assignments and the mode/synchronization
settings according to your application (or per
the test setup, if different). For the channel
assignments, please refer to the FCS online
help facility (Channel Assignments Map
>Making Time Slot Assignments > To set up
the Channel Assignments Map). To set the
mode/synchronization, please refer to the FCS
online help facility (Setting the FOCUS
Chassis Operating Modes).
If you already have the correct configuration
in a FOCUS configuration file, you can
simply download the file instead of doing the
configuration. For instructions on down-
loading a configuration file, please refer to the
FCS online help facility (About FOCUS
Configuration Files > Open and Download
the configuration to the FOCUS chassis).
14. Test the system.
Test all connected channel modules and
chassis to make sure the Maintenance
Module, and thus the system, is operating
properly. The exact procedures you follow
here depends on your particular setup, or
application. Make sure that all LEDs reflect
the correct configuration (e.g., master/slave
mode, locked/unlocked) and that the proper
Before removing channel modules that have
been programmed for other than default
settings, lock the chassis to ensure custom
settings are loaded upon re-insertion.
