Viewing Rear Panel OBAM LED Status
After the devices are linked together, apply power to the SoundStructure devices. After the SoundStructure
devices have finished booting, the OBAM status LEDs, shown in the following figure, indicates the status of
the OBAM link.

Under normal operating conditions, the rear panel OBAM Out LED on one SoundStructure device and the
OBAM In LED on another SoundStructure device lights up solid green when a valid OBAM Out to OBAM In
connection is made as shown in the following figure.

If there is an invalid OBAM connection (OBAM Out to OBAM Out or OBAM In to OBAM In), the OBAM status
LEDs blink (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off).
An OBAM cable may be tested by connecting the cable between the OBAM In and OBAM Out ports on the
same SoundStructure system. Depending on the version of firmware, if the cable is functional, the OBAM
In and Out LEDs either blink 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off (version 1.2.0) or the LEDs turn solid green
(version 1.2.1 and above). If the LEDs do not light then either the OBAM cable is not functional or there is
an error with the OBAM interface on the SoundStructure device.
Viewing Front Panel LED Status
If the linked SoundStructure devices do not have a previously loaded configuration file, the front panel lights
on all the SoundStructure devices are solid green after the devices finish booting.
