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 can 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
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 is 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.

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

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

Far End Loop

To begin the verification, use the Inband Up command on the
Diagnostics Menu. This causes the local CSU to transmit a loop-up
code in the direction of the far end CSU

State

Meaning

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

Solid

Yellow

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

defective.
