Running the Demo
7. Configure the board for use by the RGA according to the procedures outlined in Chapter 3,
“Preparing to Run the Demo”.
8. Highlight the board in the Peripheral Fault Manager main window and click Start from the
Device menu. This generates a DLGC_EVT_BLADE_STARTED event that is displayed in
the RGA main window.
9. The RGA creates an entry for the board in its main window and automatically begins making
and receiving calls with the inserted board.
Using the Peripheral Fault Manager to Add a Board
The following procedure is used to add a board for use by the Revenue Generating Application
(expand system capacity):
1. Insert a board into your cPCI chassis. The Plug and Play* observer service detects the newly
inserted board and generates a DLGC_EVT_BLADE_DETECTED event. This event is
displayed in the RGA main window.
2. Configure the board for use by the RGA according to the procedures outlined in Chapter 3,
“Preparing to Run the Demo”.
3. In the PFM main window, highlight the inserted board and select Start from the Device menu.
This generates a DLGC_EVT_BLADE_STARTED event that is displayed in the RGA main
window.
4. The RGA then creates an entry for the board in its main window and automatically begins
making and receiving calls with the added board.
Using the Peripheral Fault Manager to Remove a Board
The following procedure shows how to remove a board that is being used by the Revenue
Generating Application:
1. In the Peripheral Fault Manager main window, highlight the board you wish to remove.
2. On the Device menu, click Stop. The PFM informs the RGA of the stop board request. The
RGA responds by updating the board’s status to ‘quiesced’, meaning it is no longer using the
board to make and receive calls.
3. After the board has been quiesced, the PFM invokes the NCM_StopBoard( ) function to stop
the board. When the board has been successfully stopped, the RGA displays the following
information in its main window:
Event Detected:
DLGC_EVT_BLADE_STOPPED with auid X, board Y, slot Z
where X is the Addressable Unit Identifier (AUID) of the board that is being stopped, Y is the
board number and Z is the slot number occupied by the board.
