Check A New Installation - Canoga Perkins 2345 User Manual

The LEDs show both normal and fault conditions. Typically, if a LED is steady red, the fault is the
local 2345; if it blinks red, the fault is in the remote modem. In particular, if SQL is red, the optical
signal level is below threshold and if CLS is red, the optical signal is lost. For details on the LED
status during start-up and operation, see Table 3 in Chapter 3.
Additional information about fault conditions appears in the System Alarms, Hardware
Configuration, and Functional Configuration screens.
