The LNK indicator will be lit at all node participating in the data links as long
as operation is normal. The data link mode (manual/automatic) can be
checked using the M/A indicator. The M/A indicator is only available in the
Controller Link Unit and cannot be used in the Controller Link Support Board.
Refer to 9-1 Troubleshooting Using Indicators for details.
The data link status area can be used to check for errors when data link does
not operate normally even though no abnormality has been detected by the
