4.0 Verifying Installation and Network Connectivity

(applies to all power supplies)

After connecting the transponder, any of the three following methods may be used to verify the installation and

network connectivity.

4.1 LED Indications

The EDH4 transponder has bank of 6 green LEDs on the front panel. The state

(whether each LED is ON, OFF, or blinking) of each LED indicates its operational

functionality as indicated in the table below.

On initial power up, the LEDs will remain off for several seconds after which time

the DS, US, and Online LEDs will blink, in unison, 6 times. After this sequence

completes, the LEDs indicate the status. The PWR, DS, US, ONLINE, and

ELINK LEDs conform to the DOCSIS OSSI specification.

LED

Function

State

Meaning

STAT

Debug LED:Indicates the presence or absence of data transference

between the transponder’s two processors.

Off

Data is not being transferred between the two processors.

Blinking

Data is being transferred between the two processors.

ELINK

CPE Link LED:Indicates status with respect to the bridging of data to

and from a CPE device connected to the transponder’s Ethernet port

Off

A CPE device is not connected to the transponder’s Ethernet port.

Blinking

The transponder is bridging data to/from a CPE device.

ONLINE

Online LED:Indicates status with respect to the completion of the IP

initialization process and when the unit is operational.

Blinking

The transponder is currently involved in the IP initialization process.

On

The transponder has completed the IP initialization process and is operational.

US

Upstream LED:Indicates status with respect to acquisition of upstream

parameters and initial ranging.

Blinking

The transponder is obtaining upstream parameters and is performing initial

ranging.

On

The transponder has completed a successful initial ranging sequence.

DS

Downstream LED:Indicates status with respect to downstream

scanning and synchronization.

Blinking

The transponder is scanning for a downstream DOCSIS channel.

On

The transponder has locked onto and synchronized with a downstream

DOCSIS channel.

PWR

Power LED:(Note: this LED is not tied directly to line power)

Off

The transponder is not powered or is not functioning.

On

The transponder is on.
