Troubleshooting the KFC15 Module

1747-5.34 - June 1998

The following terms are used to describe the state of the LEDs:

solid - on continuously in the defined state

flashing - each LED alternates between the two defined states (or with
OFF if only one state is defined). This only applies to a single LED
viewed independently of the other. If both ControlNet LEDs are flashing,
they flash together (in phase).

railroad - both LEDs alternate between the two defined states at the same
time. This only applies to both ControlNet LEDs when viewed together.
The two LEDs are always in opposite states (out-of-phase).

flickering - intermittent on/off between the two states, often in an erratic
pattern
