During module configuration, the OK LED is red and the APP and BP ACT LEDs
will be on. If the LEDs are latched in this mode for a long period of time, look at
the configuration error words in the configuration request block. The structure of
the block is shown in the following table.

Correct any invalid data in the configuration for proper module operation. When
the configuration contains a valid parameter set, all the bits in the configuration
words will be clear. This does not indicate that the configuration is valid for the
user application. Make sure each parameter is set correctly for the specific
application.
If the APP, BP ACT and OK LEDs blink at a rate of every one-second, this
indicates a serious problem with the module. Call ProSoft Technology support to
arrange for repairs.
