Configuring the Phoenix Fiber Optic Communications Syst em This section explains how to configure a Phoenix chassis using the fr ont panel. The front panel has seven status LEDs, an LCD display, sev en push buttons and two RJ-45 por ts. These RJ-45 ports (labeled L AN and DA T A) are curr ently unused. Do NOT connect any cables or equipment to thes[...]

1. Turn on pow er and check status Turn on the power to the Phoenix chassis using the switches on the P ower S upply modules. If two power supplies ar e installed, turn on both switches. The LEDs per form a brief test when the chassis powers up: all seven LEDs turn green and then turn r ed. After the test has completed the LEDs indicate the status [...]

The topology and node ID are set using the fr ont panel LCD display. The LCD displays a menu from which sub-menus or featur es can be selected.
