Solution:

Magnum Router Module port physical configuration is wrong for attached device. If connecting CSU/DSU, Magnum Router Module port should be DTE.

Wrong cable for application, or defective cable.

Verify that correct cable is being used (check part number and compare the cable to the Magnum Router Cable Kits described in chapter 2). Only cables purchased from the manufacturer / distributor should be used with this product.

If Magnum Router Module configuration is correct and correct cable is being used and properly secured, contact the carrier for assistance.

Solution: Annex-D or LMI mismatch between Magnum Router Module and the carrier.

Make sure that both Magnum Router Module WAN port and the carrier are using the same link management type.
