CHAPTER 5: Operation and Diagnostics

5. Operation and Diagnostics

Once you have configured each Multi-Function LD Card and connected the cables, you are ready to operate the units. This chapter describes the Card’s LEDs, the power-up procedure, and diagnostic testing.

5.1 Status LEDs

The Multi-Function LD Card features 11 front-panel status LEDs (shown in Figure 5-1 below) that indicate the condition of the modem and the communication link.

5.1.1THE TD AND RD INDICATORS

The TD and RD indicators (one red and one green LED for each signal) blink when data activity occurs: The red LEDs indicate a low RS-232 logic level, while the green LEDs indicate a high RS-232 logic level. Also, since RS- 232 devices idle in a low state, the red LED will be steadily lit if the connections are correct and the RS-232 device is in an idle state.
