State

Function

 

 

 

Active

Green

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 the ISDN

 

 

interface is correctly connected to a working NT device.

 

 

 

 

Off

There is no connection to the ISDN, or the ISDN has

 

 

deactivated the connection.

 

 

 

Data

Amber

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

 

 

respective B channel.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Flashing Amber

For on-demand ISDN, flashing when data is being

 

 

exchanged.

 

 

 

 

Off

For on-demand ISDN, Off when there is no active

 

 

connection or when continuous data exchange is

 

 

occurring.

 

 

For permanent ISDN circuits, Off when no data exchange

 

 

is occurring.

 

 

 

The AT-AR041 and AT-AR042 support point-to-point links. Point to multi- point links are not supported.
