Magnum Router Power-up Self Test Problems
 
Symptom: No red OK LED Indicator 
Solution: Magnum Router Module is not seated properly in Marathon base unit. Power off 
Marathon base unit and check for proper installation. See chapter 4 for Magnum Router Module 
hardware installation instructions. 
 
Symptom: All LED’s are blinking rapidly. 
Solution: Hardware failure. Unit must be repaired. Contact your authorized Magnum / 
Marathon Dealer for a replacement . 
 
 
Frame Relay Link Does Not Come Up
 
Symptom: WAN port LED is red or off, indicating that no valid frame relay LMI packets have 
been exchanged. 
Solution: 
 
• Magnum Router Module port physical configuration is wrong for attached device.
If connecting CSU/DSU, Magnum Router Module port should be DTE. If directly 
connecting to FRAD, Router or bridge (DTE), Magnum Router Module port should be 
DCE, with baud rate set to match capability of connected DTE device. 
• Magnum Router Module port Link Type configuration is wrong for attached device.
Verify that the Magnum Router Module port Link Type is set to the correct type for your 
application. Refer to chapter 9 for sample configurations. 
• Wrong cable for application, or defective cable.
Verify that correct cable is being used (check part number and compare the cable to the 
Magnum Router Cable Kits described in chapter 2). Only cables purchased from the 
manufacturer / distributor should be used with this product. 
• Carrier problem (if public frame relay carrier is involved)
If Magnum Router Module configuration is correct and correct cable is being used and 
properly secured, contact the carrier for assistance. 
 
Symptom: WAN port LED is red and never goes to green. 
Solution: Annex-D or LMI mismatch between Magnum Router Module and the carrier. 
Make sure that both Magnum Router Module WAN port and the carrier are using the same link 
management type.
