LED Display Status

Dual-color LED indicators on the front panel give mainte-

nance personnel quick diagnostics of the operational status of
the MUX. (ref. Fig. 10) Table G explains the LED functions in
detail.

ACK Button

The ACK button performs an LED test. While the ACK but-

ton is held in LEDs will illuminate in their solid color. The
ALARMS LEDs and TL1 PORTS LEDs will alternately blink
red and green.

Hardware Connections

The illustrations on pages 6 and 7 show wiring pinouts for

the MUX.

Craft Port Connector

The Craft Port is a female RS232 DB9 connector used as a

direct link into the MUX. It is normally used to configure or
monitor the MUX. See Fig. 11.

NOTE: When the craft port is in use the MUX port is not ac-

tive.
