remain fully operational and accessible on the network without any
interruptions. As soon as the FP-1000/1001 configures a replacement
I/O module via the HotPnP service, that I/O module becomes
automatically accessible on the network.
Power-On Self Test (POST)
The power-on self test (POST) is a test suite that the FP-1000/1001
performs at power up to verify its own operational status. The test is
non-invasive and therefore does not affect the operation of the network,
nor does it affect any of your field wiring connected to the terminal
bases in the bank.
If the self-test suite fails, the FP-1000/1001 does not participate in the
network communication traffic, thereby eliminating potential conflicts
with the other banks in your network.
The FP-1000/1001 indicates POST failure via the STATUS LED. Refer
to the next section, LED Indicators, for more information.
LED Indicators
The FP-1000/1001 has four LED indicators: POWER, NETWORK,
ACCESS, and STATUS. Figure 3-1 shows the LEDs on the
FP-1000/1001.
