Front Panel Operation

6.1.1 LED Indicators

The front panel LED indicators function as follows:

END
State Function
Green
No Tx Traffic faults
A Tx Traffic fault exists (this is independent of the Transmit Carrier state – see TX
Off
Carrier LED)
Tx Carrier is ON (reflects the true state of the Tx carrier, regardless of Tx Traffic
Green
state)
Off Tx Carrier is OFF
No Rx Traffic faults (Demod/FEC decoder are locked, valid frame sync, if applicable,
Green
and no other Rx traffic alarms)
An Rx Traffic fault exists (frame sync alarm, etc - the demod may still be OK – see
Off
Demod Lock LED)
Green
The demodulator and FEC decoder are locked
Off
The demodulator and/or FEC decoder are not locked
Green
CnC Mode is active
Off CnC Mode is not active
Green
CnC Mode is active and the CnC algorithm has converged and locked
Off If CnC Mode is active, the CnC algorithm has not converged and locked
Demo Mode is active or Time Limited CnC is active with > 15 days left before
Green
expiration or Fractional CnC is active, but unit is offline
Red Time Limited CnC or Fractional CnC allowed time has expired
Orange Fractional CnC is active, unit is online with < 15 days left before expiration
Off No time limited feature enabled. (will also turn off after Demo Mode time has expired)
CnC-APC or IP-ACM or V2-ACM or EDMAC mode is active, and distant-end demod
Green
is locked
CnC-APC or IP-ACM or V2-ACM or EDMAC mode is active, and distant-end demod
Orange
is not locked
Off CnC-APC or IP-ACM or V2-ACM or EDMAC is active, and local demod is unlocked
In general, the Alarm relay state reflects the state of
the Front Panel LEDs. For example, if the Unit Status
LED is red, the Unit Alarm relay is active, etc. The sole
exception is the Transmit Traffic relay – it does not
reflect the state of the Tx carrier; it activates only if a
Transmit Traffic Fault exists.
