INDICATORS
The transmitter and receiver modules contain various indicators to provide you with status
information. Both modules have four red indicators on their front panels.
Status indicators
The multi-color status indicators on the front panels of each module mostly behave in the same
manner at the same time:
LNK
STS
VID
PWR
PWR
This indicator
shows
red
while
the module
is performing
its initial boot
procedure and
changes to

when ready. The
indicator will flash

if a problem
is encountered
- remove power
and re-apply to
see if the problem
persists.

CATx status indicators
The status indicators on the CATx port connector of each module
provide further status information when a CATx link is in use:
SPEED
This indicator signals whether
the speed of the CATx link is
sufficient:
•
Amber
- link speed is below
the necessary 5Gbit/sec.
Check the CATx cable link
for problems.
•
Green
- link speed is ok.
LINK
This indicator will be
green
whenever there
is a CATx link between
the transmitter and
receiver modules.
The AdderLink XD modules are designed to be transparent in operation; all peripherals should
respond exactly as they would when situated next to your host computer.
