Power-On Self Test (POST)
The power-on self test (POST) is a test suite that the FP-1600 runs at power
up to verify its own operational status. The test takes several seconds. 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-1600 does not participate in the network
communication traffic, eliminating potential conflicts with the other banks
in your network.
The FP-1600 indicates POST failure through the POWER and STATUS
LEDs. Refer to the section
in Appendix B,
, for more information.
