Key to E-FIB front panel lights and controls

Feature

Description

RESET button

Pressing the RESET button causes the card and all links to momentarily stop their current activity and to restart. The card’s matrix data light goes off when the reset starts and comes back on when the reset is complete.

During the reset, configuration information downloads to the card and its connected matrices from the CPU card. If the entire system is operating except for one fiber card press the reset button for that card only.

Tip: The reset button is slightly recessed from the front panel to prevent it from being accidentally pressed. A tool such as a bent paper clip is needed to press this button.

Power supply and Status lights

+3.3-Volt Power Supply LED

The matrix’s +3.3-volt power supply provides electric current to this green light. When lit, the light indicates that the +3.3-volt supply is present and supplying electric current to the card.

Processor LED

When lit the LED indicates that the fiber card on-board processor is running

Front Card LED

When lit indicates that the front card in functioning normally.

Rear Card LED

When lit indicates that the rear card is functioning normally.

Primary Link Status LEDs

These LEDs indicate the status and functioning of the primary (A) fiber optic link.

Link LED

This LED indicates whether a link has been established on the primary fiber optic circuit (transceiver A). When illuminated a link is present.

TXVR LED

This LED indicates when data is being transmitted on the primary circuit. It is illuminated when data is present on the circuit.

ACT LED

This LED is lit if the primary fiber optic circuit is active.

ERR LED

This LED will be illuminated if an error condition is detected on the primary fiber optic circuit.

Secondary Link Status LEDs

These LEDs indicate the status and functioning of the secondary (B) fiber optic link.

Link LED

This LED indicates whether a link has been established on the secondary fiber optic circuit (transceiver B).  When illuminated a link is present.

TXVR LED

This LED indicates when data is being transmitted on the secondary circuit.  It is illuminated when data is present on the circuit.

ACT LED

This LED is lit if the secondary fiber optic circuit is active.

ERR LED

This LED will be illuminated if an error condition is detected on the secondary fiber optic circuit.

Status LED

The red status LED illuminates to indicate a failure in communication between the fiber card and the CPU card.

Matrix Data LED

The green matrix data LED illuminates to indicate successful communication between the fiber master card and the CPU card.
