5.1.1 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
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.
The function of the eight front panel LED indicators is as follows:
