VLBRV CHANNEL STATUS SCAN
The Status Scan provides information on the current state of the MEGAMUX PLUS system. Dis-
plays report either system status or the condition of individual MEGAMUX PLUS components.
The displays are real-time, with immediate reporting of new system developments. Two routines,
General or Specific Status Scan, control the type of scan displayed.
The General Status Scan provides an overview of the system, reporting primarily on the operation-
aL/Non-operational status of each component in the MEGAMUX PLUS system. The display is or-
ganized according to the MEGAMUX PLUS channel shelves, and reports Alarm, ACO, or Unused
status for each channel, as well as the Auto Frame, Aggregate Interface, Power Supply, and the
Transmit/Receive, Clock Generator, and Expansion Modules. The display also indicates which
configuration is currently in use.
The Specific Status Scan provides detailed information on the VLBRV Channel Module. When a
channel status scan is selected, a VLBRV Channel may be specified by it's circuit name or channel
number. Separate Alarm and Control Status Scans may also be selected for each VLBRV Channel
Module.-
When the Specific Status routine is selected from the Status Scan Menu, the following menu is dis-
played:
*--- STATUS SCAN DISPLAY MENU---*

AUTO FRAME
AGGREGATE
POWER SUPPLY
CHANNEL
Use the cursor position and Return keys to select a specific scan from the menu. If you select a Sta-
tus Scan for the VLBRV Channel Module, you must specify the channel number or name as part of
the selection process. VLBRV Channel alarms are also displayed. Up to eight alarms are included
in the display at any time. New alarms replace existing alarms when they occur. (If the alarms occur
rapidly in a status display, use the alarm scan for a more complete list of recent alarms.) If you desire
to delete existing displayed alarms, press Return. The following prompt appears:
DELETE DISPLAYED ALARMS Y/N?
Simultaneously press the Y and Return key to delete the displayed alarms. The items in each display
are defined in the following paragraphs.
