The IDNet Card, Continued

LEDs

Specifications

The IDNet card has the following LEDs:

LED1. Normally off. Turns on steady if the IDNet card is not communicating with the 4100 CPU.

LED2. Normally off. Illuminates to indicate a problem with the IDNet lines.

Steady on indicates channel failure.

One repetitive blink indicates a line short.

Two repetitive blinks indicate a Class A failure or an open line.
