 Flashing red
1 Carrier not locked: The DLC510 channel is configured for a specific carrier frequency, but the carrier is too weak
or not found.
2 Demodulator not locked: The DLC510 channel is configured for a specific carrier frequency, the carrier is found,
but the DLC510 is unable to demodulate the signal.
Other Notes:
1. If all LEDs are off, the card is unpowered or unprogrammed and is considered defective.
2. If a channel is enabled and the carrier is not locked, all three LEDs, RF, ERR, and ASI will be red.
3. The ERR LED, when red, indicates that the FEC process will not correct errors because the proper FEC infor-
mation has not been found. When yellow, the ERR LED indicates that the carrier-to-noise margin is small and
any further drop in the carrier-to-noise could result in errors. Neither case quantifies any amount of errors.
