The following sections describe these procedures in detail.
Configuring the LCM Using the Auto-Setup Button
Complete the following steps to configure the LCM using the Auto-Setup button.
1
Connect power to the node.
2
Connect optical fibers to all installed receivers.
3
Press and release the Auto-Setup button on the LCM.
Note: Use a small diameter screwdriver, or other small round tool that fits the hole
in the housing, to press the Auto-Setup button. Do not press hard. The button only
depresses about 1/64 inch (0.4 mm). You can feel the button depress, but likely not
hear it in a noisy environment.
Results: When pressed, the Auto-Setup button performs the following actions:
Checks for installed modules
Sets the switching levels for the two AB switches
Resets all reverse band 6 dB (wink) switches to "low"
The Auto-Setup process typically takes less than one second (~50 ms).
Note: During the module check, the LCM micro-controller samples the inputs from
the optical transmitters (up to 4), optical receivers (up to 4), power supplies (up to 2),
and AC lines (up to 2), to determine which of these items are installed in the node.
Important: In order for a module to be detected and counted as "installed", it must
be functioning properly at the time the Auto-Setup button is pressed. This includes
proper optical levels being fed to the receivers.
