Using the 8900NET GUI
Figure 15. 8900NET GUI for Frame Control
During initial polling, modules that do not respond immediately may tran-
sition to a
WARNING, MODULE NOT RESPONDING status. In this case, this is a tem-
porary status until a maximum number of sequential attempts fail and a
Fault is reported.
Note The first release of 8960DEC module code causes a Fault condition because
it never responds on the Frame Bus. There is no way for the 8900NET module
to tell the difference between a fully functional early release of 8960DEC and
a module whose Frame Bus Interface has failed.
Note Early releases of the 8960ENC, 8950DAC, 8950ADC, 8920DAC, 8920ADC,
and the 8916 signal a warning condition due to limited capability over the
Frame Bus. All of these, except the 8916, can be upgraded by the user with
fully capable Frame Bus software.
