LED DISPLAY
2. LED Display
There are nine front panel LEDs, one indicates the chassis power supply status and four sets of two each indicate the status
of the four plug-in units. The number labeled on the front panel correspond to the slot identication; one on the most left and
four on the most right (closest to power switch) when facing the rear of the chassis. Figure 1 below shows the generic alarm table and corresponding color codes.
2.1 LED Color Codes
There are four possible colors of LEDs. They are observed during the following conditions.
Off: indicates the monitored function is unavailable. This is also observed temporarily during power on LED test.
Example #1: Only slot 1 and slot 2 have plug in units. The LEDs for slot 3 and slot 4 are off.
Example #2: The High Sensitivity Quad Return Receiver is detected in slot 1; the RF LED for slot 1 is turned off
since RF detection is not available in this unit.
CHAPTER 2:
LED DISPLAY
Green: indicates the monitored function is healthy. This is also temporarily observed during power on LED test.
Example #1: The High Sensitivity Quad Return Receiver is detected in slot 1, and the OPT LED for slot 1 is green which indicates the monitored level of all four optical power receivers in slot 1 are within normal operating range.
Amber: indicates the monitored function is in minor alarm condition. This is also temporarily observed during power on LED test.
Example #1: The High Sensitivity Quad Return Receiver is detected in slot 1, and the OPT LED for slot 1 is amber which indicates the level of any one or more of the four optical power receivers in slot 1 are in minor alarm range. The minor alarm is triggered if the monitored level is between the high and high-high or low and low-low thresholds.
Red: indicates the monitored function is in major alarm condition. This is also observed temporarily during power on LED
test.
Example #1:The High Sensitivity Quad Return Receiver is detected in slot 1, and the OPT LED for slot 1 is red
which indicates the level of any of the four optical power receivers in slot 1 are within major alarm range. The major
alarm is triggered if the monitored level is beyond the high-high or low-low thresholds.

PUSHBUTTON OPERATIONS
3. Pushbutton Operations
There are ve pushbuttons located at the front panel of chassis. They are designated as “Up” with a upper arrow indicator, “Right” with a right arrow indicator, “Left” with a left arrow indicator, “Down” with a down arrow indicator and “Select” as the
center button.
CHAPTER 3:
PUSHBUTTON OPERATIONS
3.1 Philosophy of Button Operations
3.1.1 Individual Button Operations
Up: The cursor moves up one line
Down: The cursor moves down one line
Right: Cycle through the available options for the line where cursor is located.
If the menu is for read-only attribute, the display shows the next available interface.
Example #1: If the current display is “#1 Optical Power”, the “#2 Optical Power” shall be displayed after “Right”
button is pressed.
Example #2: If the menu is for the quantitative write attributes, the “Right” button increases the value.
In the “Gain Setting Menu”, the cursor displays Gain (steps): 1, the Gain (steps): 2 shall be displayed after the “Right” button is pressed once.
Left: Cycle through the available options for the line where cursor is located
If the menu is for read-only attribute, the display shows the next available interface.
Example #1: If the current display is “#2 Optical Power”, the “#1 Optical Power” shall be displayed after “Left”
button is pressed.
Example #2: If the menu is for the quantitative write attributes, the left button decreases the value.
In the “Gain Setting Menu”, the cursor displays Gain (steps): 3, the Gain (steps): 2 shall be displayed after “Left”
button is pressed.
Select: There are multiple meanings to the select button.
• Select to execute the action where the cursor is located.
Example #1: If the cursor is located at the “Prev menu” line, the display shall change to the NEXT higher menu after the “Select” button is pressed once.
• Select to commit the option.
Example #1: In the “Gain Setting Menu”, if the cursor is located on the “Sel Ch: 1” line, the channel #1 shall be used for gain adjustment after “Select” button is pressed.
CHAPTER 3:
PUSHBUTTON OPERATIONS
NOTE: Only after pressing the Select button, the gain settings option is operated on the selected channel.
• Select to commit the setting to NVRAM
Example #1: In the “Gain Setting Menu”, if cursor is on “Save: No (17)”, user must toggle the right or left button to change the option to “Yes”. Then press “Select” to commit the value, 17, in the bracket into the
NVRAM.
NOTE: Only if the value is committed into NVRAM, the chassis will use the selected gain level next time the chassis recovers from power cycle.
3.1.2 Combination Button Operations
The combination button operations are unique to TranScend chassis. Each combination operation is de ned strictly for their speci c usage as the following de nition.
UP+DOWN: When pressing and holding the UP+DOWN button simultaneously when traversing the slot menu, the front panel displays current slot number. The front panel display will restore back to the previous display once the button combination is released.
Example #1: User is within the “Status Menu” of slot #1, press and hold the Up and Down buttons, the front panel displays “Current Slot: 1”. The “Status Menu” returns after releasing the Up and Down button combinations.
LEFT+RIGHT: When pressing and holding the LEFT+RIGHT button simultaneously, the front panel displays tree’s top menu of sub-tree. The top menu is usually the module’s Greetings.
NOTE: The support of this feature starts on plugin software version 2.1D or later.

4.3.7.1 Optical Switch Switching Criteria
Switch from primary to secondary: When the primary optical power drops below the user dened threshold and the
secondary optical power is above the user dened threshold, the optical switch position moves over to the secondary optical
power immediately.
Recover from secondary to primary: When the primary optical power is above the user dened threshold for one second,
the optical switch recovers back to primary position.
The optical switch position is persistently stored and the unit that recovers from power cycle will restore the optical switch initial position according to its persistent value. The factory default is primary.
