Starmux IV Troubleshooting 

SYMPTOM 

PROBABLE CAUSE 

CORRECTIVE ACTION 

The green PWR indicator does 

not illuminate when the unit is 

turned on. 

The POWER switch in the front 

or rear of the unit is not turned 

on. 

Verify that both POWER 

switches are on. 

No AC power.  

Verify that the Starmux IV is 

connected to AC power. Check 

the AC power source. Verify 

that the fuse is good. 

5-amp fuses on rear panel VAC 

connection are bad. 

Check fuses for continuity. 

Replace if necessary. 

The indicator is not operating. 

Open the unit and check the 

indicator LED and wiring. 

The 375 VDC 2.5A fuse mounted 

to the rear panel is bad 

Check the fuse for continuity. 

Replace if necessary. 

The green LAN indicator does 

not illuminate when the unit is 

turned on. 

There is no connection between 

the digital link and the external 

topside processor. 

Check the LAN connections 

between the STARMUX IV unit 

and the topside processor. 

The indicator is not operating. 

Open the unit and check the 

indicator LED and wiring. 

The green LINK indicator on the 

Starmux IV continues to flash 

after several minutes, and no 

LINK is established. 

The tow cable between the 

digital link and the tow vehicle 

is disconnected or faulty. 

Check connections and tow 

cable. 

Modem settings on the digital 

link are incorrect.
