Chapter 3. Operation
installing modules by simply specifying the module that you want to install in each slot.
TYPE automatically displays the name of an installed module. If you want to change this field to a different type of module, you must set TYPE to EMPTY before selecting the other module.
MENU | Displays additional status and configuration menus for the selected |
| module. (To access the submenus for this item, use the arrow keys to |
| scroll to the MENU column for the module you want to edit, and press |
| Enter.) For detailed information on each submenu item, see the section |
| Modules/Menu on page 31. |
ALARM | Read security: 5 |
| Displays an alarm condition on the NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Module. Press Enter in |
| this field to activate the menu. |
TEST | Read security: 5 |
| Displays test name if the NxT1 HSSI/V.35 Module is executing a test. Press |
| Enter in this field to activate the menu. |
STATE | Displays module status as either ONLINE of OFFLINE. Even though a module |
| is physically installed, it must be marked as online for it to be considered an |
| available resource. This field allows an installed module to be marked as of- |
| fline, which may be useful in system troubleshooting. If you choose OFFLINE, |
| the module will not be in alarm condition, but will display OFFLINE. |
Once a module is installed, STATE must be set to ONLINE in order for the ATLAS 800 Series unit to use the module for any data bandwidth.
STATUS | This |
| Module. The following messages may display: |
ONLINE | The module is enabled, and is responding to the system controller’s status |
| polls. This is the normal response of the system. |
NO RESPONSE | The module is enabled, but is not responding to the system controller’s status |
| polls. This response indicates either a problem in the system or that the mod- |
| ule is not installed. |
