Configuration and Control
You can monitor the status of a SIT using the LEDs and the IDU Monitoring web page.
The LEDs on the front of the IDU provide a quick way to verify that the unit is operating
properly (see
section 1.4
for a description of the IDU front panel). Under normal operation
you will see the following LEDs:
• The Power, Ready, Satellite Tx and Satellite Rx LEDs should be illuminated for satel-
lite network access.
• The Ethernet Tx and Rx LEDs may flicker (this indicates that the IDU is sending or
receiving data on the LAN).
• The Alarm LED should not be illuminated (for the series 2000 IDU).
Check the IDU Monitoring web page for more detailed information about the IDU's status.
For a quick overview of IDU status, verify the four parameters shown in the table below.

enabled, the IDU has been authenticated. If
IPSec is enabled, the IDU has established a
secure IPSec tunnel, or is in the process of
negotiating a tunnel with the IPSEC server.
The IDU has fully acquired the forward link.
