7. STATUS LEDS
7.1. MODULE STATUS LEDS
MODULE STATUS:
This Green LED will be on when the module is operating properly.
LOCAL FAULT:
This Red LED makes it easy to identify one module in a frame that is
missing an essential input or has another fault.
The Red LED will blink on and off if the microprocessor is not running.
The Red LED will be on when there is a fault in the module power supply or
a user configurable error condition exists (as configured through the Frame
Status Trigger menu option).
7.2. VIDEO STATUS LED AND CARD EDGE 4-CHARACTER DISPLAY
Some key user components can be found at the card edge:
1. Toggle Switch
2. Local Fault Status LED
3. 4 Character Dot Matrix Display
4. Push Button
Toggle Switch: This component will become active once the card has completed booting. Its
primary function is to navigate through the menu system.
Local Fault Status LED: This component will be set upon initial power up to red. Once the card
is in a normal operating mode, it will be set to green. If the card has booted, and
the LED remains red or becomes red, this indicates an internal error.
4 Character Dot Matrix Display: This component will become active once power is applied to
the card. This component is used to relay text-based information to the user. It
will be used to scroll build and card information, or display the menu options to
the user.
Push Button: This component will become active once the card has completed booting. It is
primarily used for navigating through the menu system.
