LED	Status	Descriptions
Power	–	See “Media bay module LEDs (expansion units only)” for details.
Status	–	See “Media bay module LEDs (expansion units only)” for details.
In service	Flashing	The T1, ETSI, or PRI trunks are out of service because a loopback test is
		running or the DTM is initializing.
Loopback test	On	A continuity loopback test is running.
Receive alarm	On	A problem with the received digital transmission. This half-duplex link does
		not work.
Receive error	On	A small error as a result of degraded digital transmission. Possible causes are
		an ohmic connection, water ingress, or too long a loop.
Transmit alarm	On	The DTM cannot transmit. The DTM sends an alarm indication signal (AIS) to
		the terminating switch. This half-duplex link does not work.
Transmit error	On	The DTM is sending a remote alarm indication (RAI) carrier failure alarm
		(CFA) to the terminating switch. If the transmit alarm is not on, this error
		indicates a far-end or cable problem.
All LEDS	Flashing	The DTM is initializing.
