You can monitor the FA Link Status through the
FLNETSTATUS.Own_node.FA_link_status. For this example bit 0 is currently set
as 0 (MVI69-FLN is in-ring)
Setting a value of 1 to FLNETMODULE.CONTROL.In_Out_RingCommand
controller tag will set the MVI69-FLN module as out-ring:
The out-ring state can be checked by the FA Link status which now indicates that
all bits are set to 0 (out-ring).
You can observe that the LER/LE LED will be asserted to indicate that the
module was set out-ring.
Setting a value of 2 to FLNETMODULE.CONTROL.In_Out_RingCommand
controller tag will set the MVI69-FLN module again to in-ring:
The in-ring state can be checked by the FA Link status which now indicates that
bit 0 is set to 1 (in-ring)
You can observe that the LED display will have an "I" and the word "OK".
