Front Panel Operation MN/CRS300.IOM

7.4.1 CONFIG: MANUAL
MANUAL SELECT:
BRIDGE:02 BACKUP:02
The User may manually select which Traffic Modem is to be bridged or backed-up. When the
Switch is in Manual mode (Auto is OFF), both of these selections are available. Use the ◄ ►
arrow keys to select between Bridge and Backup. Use the ▲ ▼ arrow keys to scroll through all
active Traffic Modems, skipping inactive modem slots. Press
[ENT] to configure.
When in Auto mode, the Switch has control and will automatically backup any active Traffic
Modem based on its fault relay activity. In this case, the Manual Select display would appear as
shown below:
MANUAL SELECT:
BRIDGE:02 BACKUP: AUTO
In Auto mode, the BACKUP selection is unavailable for manual selection, but the modem being
bridged may be changed. Use the ▲ ▼ arrow keys to scroll through all active Traffic Modems,
skipping inactive modem slots. Press
[ENT] to configure.
When the Switch is in Backup mode, the Redundant Modem is online. In this event, the User may
not alter the bridge/backup state, and a message is shown instead of the menu:
MANUAL SELECT:
SWITCH IS IN AUTO MODE
Press CLR or ENT to return to the previous menu.
The Switch learns and retains the configuration of all of the active modems in the set-up. This
configuration information is used to program the Redundant Modem to match the configuration
of the modem being bridged.
7.4.2 CONFIG: AUTO [AUTO-OFF or AUTO-ON]
OPERATING MODE:
AUTO-OFF AUTO-ON (ENTER)
Select AUTO-OFF or AUTO-ON using the ◄ ► arrow keys, then press [ENT] .
When off (Manual mode), the Switch does not respond automatically to any modem faults and
simply performs whatever manual setting the User performs via the Manual-select previous menu.
The STORED EVENT indicator blinks when in Manual mode to alert the User that the Switch is
effectively not in use.
