PIC LEDs

The following LEDs report operations and faults on PICs, and may be helpful when diagnosing possible AT-AR040 NSM operational faults. The LEDs are located on the faceplate of the respective PIC. The AT-AR024 ASYN4 PIC does not have LEDs.

LED

Function

 

 

D Data

[ISDN mode only] Lit when HDLC packets are being exchanged between the

 

switch or router and the ISDN switch over the D (signalling) channel.

 

 

B Data

Lit when HDLC packets are being exchanged between the switch or router

 

and another end system device (normally another switch or router) over any

 

of the B (data) channels.

 

 

Active

Lit whenever operational (i.e., no RAI or AIS set) frames are being received

 

on the respective interface (PRI 0 or PRI 1) from another source.

 

 

NT

[ISDN mode only] Lit when the PRI1 is operating in NT mode. This LED

 

should not be lit during normal operation.

LED

Function

 

 

B1, B2

For on-demand ISDN, lit when there is a call up over the respective B

 

channel and flashing when data is being exchanged.

 

For permanent circuits, lit when HDLC packets are being exchanged

 

between the switch or router and another TE end system device (normally

 

another switch or router) over the respective B (data) channel.

 

 

Active

Lit when the BRI has successfully completed the exchange of INFO 1 and

 

INFO 2 signals, and INFO 3 and INFO 4 signals are present on the link. This

 

means that the ISDN interface is correctly connected to a working NT

 

device.

DLit when HDLC packets are being exchanged between the switch or router and the ISDN switch over the D (signalling) channel.

Table 8: AT-AR021(U) BRI-U PIC LEDs

LED

Function

 

 

B1, B2

Lit when HDLC packets are being exchanged between the switch or router

 

and another TE end system device (normally another switch or router) over

 

the respective B (data) channel.

 

For ISDN, lit when there is a call up over the respective B channel and

 

flashing when data is being exchanged.

 

 

Active

Lit when the U interface is in the Activated state (i.e., it is in a fully

 

operational at layer 1).

DLit when HDLC packets are being exchanged between the switch or router and the ISDN switch over the D (signalling) channel.
