Description

 

Channel

XMT/RCV

The Channel Transmit (XMT) and Receive (RCV) indicators show the activity level on each channel.

 

MultiMux MMV1608 uses Channel One through Channel Eight indicators, MMV1616 uses

 

Channel One through 16, MMV3224 uses Channel One through Channel 24, and finally

 

MMV3232 uses Channel One through 32.

FC

The Flow Control (FC) indicator is On when the MultiMux has stopped the channel data, because the

 

channel cannot accept any more data. If the channel data is being stopped by a remote

 

device, the FC indicator on the host MultiMux lights. The Flow Control Received (FCR)

 

indicator on the affected composite link also lights. If the channel data is being stopped by one

 

of the composite links, only the FC indicator for the affected channel lights.

Indicator

Description

 

Composite Link A/B

CD

The Carrier Detect (CD) indicator lights when the composite link detects a carrier signal from the

 

remote MultiMux. The CD indicator lights when a carrier signal is detected for an internal DSU

 

and when an external device (DSU or composite link modem) is connected to the composite

 

link, and is detecting a valid carrier.

RCV

The Receive (RCV) indicator flashes as data is being received from the remote multiplexer.

 

The RCV indidator flashes for both internal DSU and an external link device.

XMT

The Transmit (XMT) indicator flashes as data is being transmitted to the remote multiplexer.

 

The XMT indicator flashes for both internal DSU and an external link device.

CTS

The Clear To Send (CTS) indicator lights when the composite link is ready to transmit data.

 

The CTS indicator lights for both internal DSU and an external link device.

RXT

The Retransmit (RXT) indicator lights when the local MultiMux has received a request to

 

retransmit a block of data and is retransmitting that block. The RXT indicator lights for both

 

internal DSU and an external link device.
