CDM-570A/570AL Satellite Modem with Optional Packet Processor MN-CDM570A
Front Panel Operation Revision 2

6.1.1 LED Indicators
In general, the alarm relay state reflects the state of
the Front Panel LEDs. For example, if the Unit Status
LED is red, the Unit Alarm relay is active. This does
not apply to the Transmit Traffic relay, which
activates only if a Tx Traffic Fault exists – it does not
reflect the state of the Tx carrier.
