Maintenance & Troubleshooting


1. To replace a modem, first disconnect the power and signal connections

(Refer to Figure 16 for the location of the power jack).

2. The modem is held in place with four screws. Carefully remove them.
3. Install the new modem, replace the screws and reconnect power and

signal cables.

Fiber Board

The fiber module has three LEDs. The power LED (DS1) should remain lit
while power is applied to the module. The receive LED (DS2) will light
when the display fiberboard is accepting signal from the computer
fiberboard. The transmit LED (DS3) will light when the display fiberboard
is sending to the computer fiberboard. In addition, the fiberboard has two incoming fiber
connectors and two outgoing fiber connectors. The fiberboard connects to
the controller board with a small DB9 to RJ11 flipped adaptor and a
straight through RJ11 cable.

To replace a fiber optic board:

1. Disconnect the power and signal connections (Refer to Figure 17 for

disconnection of power).

2. The fiber optic board is held in place with four screws. Carefully

remove them.

3. Install the new fiber optic board, replace the screws and reconnect

power and signal cables.

LEDs & Jumpers

The modem module has two (2) LEDs. The power LED should remain lit
while power is applied to the modem. The active LED will light when the
modem is in the process of communicating.

A modem system requires jumpers to be set on the controller board. Refer to LEDs & Jumpers in
Section 4.4 for these jumper settings.
