Status Leds Of The Ethernet Ports On An Nthw49 - Nortel Passport 15000 Hardware Description

3 slow flashing red, indicating the software is initializing for a reset or is
loading firmware which causes a reset to run the self-test again (solid red)
4 fast flashing red, indicating software is downloading
5 solid amber, indicating the card is not faulty but cannot operate because
the slot is configured for a card type other than the type of the inserted
card
6 slow flashing green, indicating the software has been loaded, and the FP
is being initialized
7 fast flashing green, indicating the hardware and software is on standby
(an inactive spare) or the FP is ready to be put into service by the software
8 solid green, indicating power is on, software is loaded, and the card is
active, in service, and operating normally; some FPs show a solid green
LED while software loading is still completing (for example, a VSP3)
but the overlap is very brief
Note: If the FP has not yet been configured in the software, the LED
cycle is solid green to solid red, then alternating between flashing red and
flashing green.
While operational, an electrical FP indicates it is active by showing a solid
green LED. Its standby mate shows a fast flashing green LED.
While operational, an optical FP indicates it is active by showing a solid green
LED. An optical FP does not have a true standby mate. When dual-FPs are
configured for AnnexB, LAPS, or Y-protection, both cards show solid green
LEDs regardless if all active ports that are providing service (as opposed to
being on hot standby) are on only one card.
When an FP is undergoing software migration, that is, a change of software,
the LED shows fast-flashing green.

Status LEDs of the Ethernet ports on an NTHW49

The 4-port Gigabit Ethernet function processor (FP), also known as the 4pGe
or NTHW49, has transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) LEDs to the left of each of
its four optical module sockets ("ports" in software). See the figure "The
Ethernet port status LEDs of an NTHW49" (page 361).
