OS Displayed only when a TSC engineer interrupts the normal
initialization sequence. The operating system remains on-line,
but the DEFINITY LAN Gateway software is off-line. Used to
perform system diagnostics and repair using the factory or
supplied system operation tools. The customer does not have
access to this state.
INST Displayed during an upgrade or installation. Goes into this state
when the technician gets into the command mode by pressing
CTRL C twice and then preempting an automatic boot from the
command menu.
Figure 4-3, System Initialization and Shutdown Flow, shows the steps the
DEFINITY LAN Gateway system automatically takes from a dead state to full
operation. It also shows the states that can be entered whenever errors occur, or
when the technician manually changes states using the faceplate panel or with
the maintenance screens located in Chapter 3. Note that the states are shown
as they appear on the faceplate panel LCD.
