2.7.7.1 LED Indications
In addition to the above LED indications, the LEDs will also indicate alarm information for Layer 1
issues. In normal operating mode, the UX5000 controls the LEDs on each blade. However, if an
alarm indication occurs, the T1 blade will control the LEDs for the blade. When a Layer 1 alarm is
detected, the T1 blade will flash red-green-red-green followed by another LED indication as
described below. This 3.8 second LED cycle will continue to repeat until the issue is resolved.
