Disabling a module

P0725810 Issue 3.0
!
Do not disable or enable modules under the following
conditions:
• During the first two minutes after a Memory reset.
• During the first minute after connecting or disconnecting a fiber
cable (do not connect or disconnect a fiber while enabling or
disabling modules. If you do so, incorrect ports may be enabled
or disabled. To recover from this, disable then enable the affected
modules).
!
Warn users before disabling the system.
Disabling a Line Module or Base Station Module will disable all or
part of the COMPANION 200 system. If you want to disable a
module while people are using the COMPANION 200, you should
first inform them that the system will be unavailable.
To disable a module, follow these steps:
1. Enter a Maintenance session.
2. Press * or & until the display shows
3.Module Status.
3. Press ^. The display shows Show module: _.
4. Enter the module number you want to examine, or press
^ to see the first module. The display identifies how
many devices are attached to the module.
To disable a Line Cartridge, press LC. The display shows the
number of lines on Line Cartridge 1. Press * or
& to view the other Line Cartridges.
5. Press STATE. The display shows the state of the devices on the
module.
6. Press DISABLE . If the device is busy, the display shows Disable
at idle?. If you wish to disable the device immediately rather
than wait until it is no longer in use, press CHANGE. The display
shows Disable at once?. Press YES.
Note: Disabling module 1 (Controller TCM lines) will not disable
the Administration port.
The Administration Terminal displays the same messages for
disabling devices and for disabling modules. For more information,
see "Checking the port status."
