Navigating the Display Screens
3.2.1 Booting
At switch-on the Modulator runs through a boot sequence which may
optionally include a series of self-tests. During this stage, a boot display
similar to that shown in Figure 3.12 appears for several seconds on the
local terminal or Telnet session. This particular example is via Telnet.
If the self-tests are successfully completed, the
Main Menu
is displayed.
If the tests are not successfully completed, one of various error messages
may be displayed. See Chapter 8, Preventive Maintenance and
Fault-finding for a list of the possible messages along with an explanation
and any relevant remedial action.
