FC InFusion Scenarios
You can create and execute FC InFusion Scenarios. A Scenario is a test script that defines
how FC InFusion monitors and modifies line traffic.
Scenarios Overview
You create Scenarios on a PC running the FC InFusion application. You then specify the
Scenarios for execution on an FC InFusion device.
The FC InFusion application provides a user friendly interface for building Scenarios. The
interface prompts you for simple decisions and choices from drop‐down menus, icons
and hyperlinks. As you make your selections, the script takes shape automatically in the
Scenario window. The script is in the form of simple English sentences. You need not
understand any formal scripting language.
Scenarios can be created in two modes, Simple Mode and Advanced Mode. The
Advanced mode has additional functions that enable creation of Scenarios with Global
Rules, Sequences and States which offer significant flexibility. Since Advanced is a
superset of Simple, you can switch to Advanced, and get an identically functional
scenario. Switching from one mode to the other is easy (see
Figure 4.8 on page 265 ).
However, when switching from Advanced to Simple, the application may still use some
Advanced Mode features. We recommend that you do not switch from Advanced to
Simple but start with a fresh Scenario in Simple Mode after saving the Advanced Mode
Scenario.
