NetBlazer 559
12 Power Failure Recovery
The automatic power failure recovery is used to select, configure, and
restart
1
the test that was running before the power failure; a test that was
not running will be selected and configured but not started. To provide this
level of protection, the configuration of the current test is automatically
saved; the logger, injections, and configuration are periodically saved.
A power failure occurs when the AC power is down while the unit’s battery
has not sufficient power to keep the unit running. Pressing the FTB-1 power
button for 5 seconds performs a power down reset and is also considered
as a power failure condition.
When the power returns, the automatic power failure recovery restarts the
FTB-1, the NetBlazer, then selects, configures, and starts the test if it was
running before the power failure.
Note: If the automatic power failure recovery is not used, restarting the NetBlazer
after a power failure automatically selects, configures, and starts the test if
it was running before the power failure.
1. Not applicable for EtherSAM, RFC 2544, TCP Throughput, and Cable Test applications; these tests must be started
manually.
