3.0 Configuration and Operation
3.1 Checking the LEDs
The EDH4 transponder features 6 green LED indicators:
• STAT
• US
• ELINK
• DS
• ONLINE • PWR
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.

for a downstream DOCSIS
channel.
US
Upstream LED: Indicates status
with respect to acquisition of
upstream parameters and initial
ranging.
Blinking

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.
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.
STAT
Status LED: Indicates the
presence or absence of data
transference between the
transponder’s two processors.
