4.4.7 Framer Acceptance Test
As noted earlier, we recommend that you initially
install and test the Framer Module in a “test”
chassis (i.e., one that is not part of an operating
network). This way, you can quickly perform the
acceptance test without interfering with a live
network.
To test the Framer Module’s functionality,
complete the following steps:
1. Set up the chassis and other modules.
Set up the test chassis and all other channel
modules, per your application. Do not connect
the chassis to another.
2. Install the Framer Module.
Insert the Framer Module into the chassis
according to the instructions in the
“Installation” section earlier in this chapter.
3. Energize the chassis.
Energize the FOCUS chassis by applying
power.
When you first energize the chassis, and thus
the Framer 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, or if there is a
problem with the Maintenance Module (i.e., it
is either not present or has experienced a
failure), the status LED stays red, even after
20 seconds have elapsed.
