TX

Green

Steady

Indicates network activity for the corresponding port.

 

 

 

A very low level of network activity (approximately

 

 

 

1–5 pps) can cause the LED to blink.

 

 

 

 

 

Off

The port is not transmitting data (no network activity).

 

 

 

 

 

Amber

Blinking

The port is out of order; the administrative state is

 

 

 

down.

 

 

 

 

RX

Green

Blinking

Indicates network activity for the corresponding port

 

 

 

(the port is receiving traffic).

 

 

 

 

 

Green

Steady

The port is operational; no network activity.

 

 

 

 

 

Amber

Blinking

The port is not operational; the administrative state

 

 

 

is down.

 

 

 

 

 

Amber

Steady

 

 

 

 

A Remote Defect Indication (RDI) alarm condition

 

 

 

has been detected; the administrative state is down.

 

 

 

The RDI alarm condition indicates that a failure

 

 

 

occurred at the far end of the network. In ATM,

 

 

 

when the physical layer detects loss of signal or

 

 

 

cell synchronization, RDI cells are used to report a

 

 

 

VPC/VCC failure. RDI cells are sent upstream by a

 

 

 

VPC/VCC endpoint to notify the source VPC/VCC

 

 

 

endpoint of the downstream failure.

 

 

 

 

 

Off

The port is not operational. Be sure that the MDA is

 

 

 

fully seated in the slot; check that the port is properly

 

 

 

configured.
