Obtain the Customers permission and perform all necessary procedures to logically remove the DEBET from the Network. 2. Remove power from the DEBET by disconnecting the AC power cord from the outlet. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | FCO DEBET-F002 | | | | | | | | | |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| | PAGE 3 OF 3 |_|_|_|_|_|_|_| | | _______________________________|_________________________________________ ******************************************************************************** * *** CAUTION *** * * To assure that the AC power is removed from the unit, the AC power cord * * must be disconnected. * ******************************************************************************** 3. Mark and remove the Ethernet cables from the DEBET LAN Bridge 100. 4. Physically remove the DEBET LAN Bridge 100 from the network. 5. Install the appropriate version DEBET LAN Bridge 150 upgrade to the network replacing all cables that were removed in Step 3. (Refer to the chart above for model designations.) 6. Plug the AC Power cord into the appropriate AC outlet to power up the unit. 7. Testing of the DEBET is accomplished in two manners. a) By a diagnostic self-test whenever power is applied to the unit. To verify successful completion of the diagnostic upon power-up examine the self-test LED on the rear of the unit. If the diagnostic is successful the "T" (self-test ok) and the DC OK LED's will be ON. NOTE** (Please allow up to 45 seconds for the self-test and communications tasks to complete, then compare the status of the LED's.) b) Check the logical link by sending a message from a node on one side of the bridge to a node on the other side. On a VAX/VMS system running DECnet, you can send a message by using the SET HOST command. \^ DEBET \\DEBET \\DEBET-F002 \\BENSON \\1990 \\FEB \\FCO_DOCS
