LED and Channel Verification

The ONline Controller Module is equipped with an LED check button on the front panel. The LED check button has two functions: it causes all LEDs in all modules in the concentrator to light, and it causes each module to identify the channel to which it is assigned. When you press this button, the module initiates a test to all modules in the concentrator. Any LED that does not light is defective.

After the five seconds elapse, the diagnostic continues with a channel check of all modules. Each Port Status LEDs should respond by blinking the number of times to correspond with the channel to which it is assigned. The channel check sequence repeats five times. Table 2-3 explains the channel check codes.
