12 Power Failure Recovery
The automatic power failure recovery is used to select, configure, and
restart
1
the test that was running before the power failure; a test that was
not running will be selected and configured but not started. To provide this
level of protection, the configuration of the current test is automatically
saved; the logger, injections, and configuration are periodically saved.
A power failure occurs when the AC power is down (LTB-8 and FTB) while
the unit’s battery (FTB) has not sufficient power to keep the unit running.
Pressing the platform power button for 5 seconds performs a power down
reset and is also considered as a power failure condition. The Windows
Hibernate or Sleep mode is also considered as a power failure condition.
When the power returns, the automatic power failure recovery restarts the
platform, the module, then selects, configures, and starts the test if it was
running before the power failure.
Note:
If the automatic power failure recovery is not used, restarting the module
after a power failure automatically selects, configures, and starts the test if
it was running before the power failure.
1. Not applicable for iSAM, EtherSAM, RFC 2544, RFC 6349, TCP Throughput, and Cable Test applications; these tests
must be started manually.
