C300 faceplate indicators/displays 
The faceplate of the C300 Controller contains four LEDs and a four-character 
alphanumeric display as shown in Figure 6.  The labels on the LEDs are: Power, Status, 
FTE A and B. 
The Status LED uses a 3-color scheme of red, green and orange.  Generally, green 
indicates OK, red indicates power up tests, a fault or failure, and orange indicates backup 
mode.  Blinking LEDs indicate a soft or hard failure and help to point to a problem.  Soft 
failures also are indicated in other displays throughout the system.  The four-character 
display provides additional controller status information, refer the Faceplate display 
information.  Directly below the display are two LEDs that indicate FTE activity.
