Front Panel Operation
CDM-760 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem
6.1.1 LED Indicators
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 one exception is the Transmit
Traffic relay. This relay activates only if a Transmit Traffic Fault exists. It does not reflect the
state of the Tx carrier.
