●  The signaling of errors/faults by the signaling contact is synchronized with the fault LED 
"F". All faults/errors indicated by the fault LED "F" (freely configurable) are also signaled 
by the signaling contact. 
●  If an internal fault occurs, the fault LED "F" lights up and the signaling contact opens. 
●  If you connect a communications node to an unmonitored port or disconnect it, this does 
not cause an error message. 
●  The signaling contact remains open until one of the following events occurs: 
–  The problem is eliminated. 
–  The current status is entered in the fault mask as the new desired status.
