RX1 and TX1 should flicker continuously, indicating normal 
two-way CPU module to rail module communication activity. 
When multiple CPU modules are networked together using Class 
B wiring, RX2, TX2, RX3, and TX3 on all panels except the first 
and last should flicker continuously, indicating normal two-way 
network communication activity on both data channels. 
When multiple CPU modules are networked together using Class 
A wiring, RX2, TX2, RX3, and TX3 should flicker continuously, 
indicating normal two way network communication activity on 
data channels A, and B. 
The network and audio riser data circuits are isolated at each 
CPU module. This prevents a shorted data circuit from 
interrupting communication on the entire circuit. Figure 8-3 
shows typical Class B network data circuit.
