5.  System Operation

5.1  Power On

To power on the unit, make sure that the power cable is properly connected to a surge-
protected outlet (recommended) and to the DSG1. Press the ON/OFF button on the front 
panel for 3 seconds, and then release it. You should see both lights on the front panel turn 
green, and then the PWR light will turn red.

5.2  LED and LCD Information

The two front LEDs indicate the status of the unit.
PWR (power):
 

•  When steadily lit RED, the system is booting (takes about 1 minute to boot).

 

•  When steadily lit GREEN, the system is powered up and booted.

DIAG (diagnostic):
 

•  When OFF, the system is working normally.

 

•  When flashing RED, an error has occurred.

The LCD screen provides information about the unit. It scrolls through the settings to display 
the following information:
 

•  Output frequencies for Mid and LTE bands

 

•  Output levels for Mid and LTE bands

 

•  IP address. When there is a problem, several messages can be displayed:

 

•  “NO IP ADDRESS”: No IP address is assigned to the unit. Verify that the network  

 

  cable is plug into the Ethernet jack.

 

•  “FTP ERROR”: The DSG1 unit cannot transmit data to the Effigis FTP server. Make  

 

  sure that the unit has access to the Internet. Note that the unit can acquire a valid  

 

  IP address, but if there is no routing to the Internet, this message will be displayed. 

5.3  Communication

The DSG1 exchange files with the CPAT FTP server every 5 minutes. It looks for parameters 
file (less than 1 Kb).
