Table 2-2 lists the lights and describes what each indicates.
Starting the MAX
To start the MAX, perform the following steps:
1
If you are using a PC, configure the terminal-emulation function in your communications
software as follows: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and direct
connect.
2
Make sure that you can see the lights on the front panel of the MAX while you view the
VT100.
3
Connect one end of the ac power cable to a power source and the other end to the MAX.
The Power-on Self-Test (POST) begins and finishes within 1 to 4 minutes, depending on
the slot cards installed.
4
While the POST is running, watch the lights.
If the Power light is on and the Fault light shuts off, the MAX is operating properly. You
can continue with the next step.
If the Power light is off or the Fault light stays on, remove the power cable and do not
continue the installation. Contact your Lucent distributor.
5
Watch the VT100 display during the POST. When the POST is successful, the following
screen appears. (The flashing question marks disappear after you have configured the
lines.)
