NET LED

The NET (network) LED is a tri-color indicator with six states, as
follows:

Table 5-5 Net LED States

Test Procedures

Testing may generally be divided into two categories, tests which
are conducted to verify an installation where no known problems
exist; and tests which result from an effort to troubleshoot a
problem which is known to exist.

Two procedures are described below. First, in the section

Verifying A T1

”, a method is described to test a T1 circuit when it

is expected that no trouble will be found. Then, in the section

Troubleshooting

”, a suggested method for finding T1 problems is

detailed.

Verifying A T1

For this procedure a pattern will be sent from a local CSU, through
the entire transmit path of the T1 circuit, to a loopback in a far end
CSU, then back through the other direction of the T1 circuit.

First a loop-up code is sent, then a test pattern is transmitted.

The data received from the T1 circuit will be compared to the data
which was transmitted. If the data received is identical to the data
which was transmitted, the T1 is good and may be placed into
service.

State

Meaning

Solid Green A normal signal is being received from the network (all OK)

Solid

Yellow

The SCC is looped toward the network via a line loopback (LLB)

or payload loopback (PLB) and no errors are being received from

the network

Solid Red

Continuous errors are being received on the network interface

(e.g., LOS, LOF, RAI, AIS)

Flashing

Red to

Green

Bipolar violations or CRC-6 errors are being received on the

network interface

Flashing

Red to

Yellow

The CSU is looped toward the network and errors are being

received (BPV or CRC-6)

Not Lit

The SCC has no power or, if other LEDS are lit, the SCC is

defective
