Color

Description

 

 

 

Alert

Amber

Operational Status. Lit during power-on self-test diagnostic or

 

 

after pressing the reset button.

 

 

Off indicates the unit has passed the diagnostic tests and is

 

 

working properly.

 

 

Flashes (four times per second) if one or more of the diagnostics

 

 

have failed or after the unit is placed in firmware download mode

 

 

and is waiting for a firmware upgrade.Flashes (once per second) to

 

 

indicate there are pending voice mail messages.

POWER

Green

Power Indicator. Remains lit as long as power is supplied to the

 

 

unit.

ISDN

Green

D Channel Status. Indicates the status of the ISDN physical

OK

 

network interface and D channel.

 

 

Remains lit once the physical ISDN interface and D channel

 

 

signaling are synchronized.

 

 

Off indicates the physical ISDN interface is not synchronized or is

 

 

disconnected.

 

 

Flashes when the physical interface attempts synchronization or

 

 

when the ISDN D channel parameters have changed.

B1/B2

Amber or

B1/B2 Channel Activity. Green indicates a data call in progress.

 

Green

Amber indicates a voice call in progress. If a call is in a dialing state,

 

 

the LED flashes. When the call is disconnected, the LED goes off.

Tx

Green

Ethernet Transmit Status. Flashes green when data is being

 

 

transmitted to the Ethernet LAN from the ISDN LAN Modem.

 

 

Off indicates no data is being transmitted to the Ethernet LAN

 

 

from the ISDN LAN Modem.

Coll

Amber

Ethernet Collision Status. Flashes amber when some collisions

 

 

are taking place on the Ethernet LAN.

Off indicates no collisions are taking place on the Ethernet LAN.

Ports1—4 Green

Ethernet LAN Port Status. On indicates the unit detects the

 

Ethernet link integrity signal from an attached computer and

 

operation is normal.

 

Flashes when the LAN Modem is receiving data on that port.

 

Off indicates the unit does not detect the Ethernet link integrity

 

signal. The Ethernet cable may not be properly connected or the

 

cable may be the wrong polarity.
