Step 6. Verifying Correct System Operation
To verify that the system is operating correctly, connect a PC to the serial console port of one of the IDUs and login
to the system as described in Step #3, earlier in this chapter.
Viewing Status Information on the Main Menu
At this point in the installation process, the System Status message should have changed.
The local unit’s System Status is displayed in the top left corner of each user interface screen, and reflects three
characteristics:
Current Mode, Connection Status, and Operating Status
.
When the system is running correctly, you should see:
System Status: OPERATE – CONNECTED – OK
Clearing Old Alarms and Events
During configuration, the IDU will generate a number of alarms. You may want to delete these alarms to make it
easier to determine if the link is working properly. To clear the Alarm and Event Log, use the down arrow to select
[
Alarms & Events..].
Press
Enter
to view the Alarms & Event Log, shown below.
