3.2 Interpreting DAG 3.6D Card LED Status
, continued
LED definitions The following table describes the LED definitions.
LED Description
LED 1
Upper FPGA successfully programmed.
LED 2 Lower FPGA successfully programmed.
LED 3 Burst Manager Run. Indicates the card is capturing packets
and transferring them to the host.
LED 4 PPS: Pulse Per Second. Indicates card is receiving an
external clock synchronization signal.
LED 5 SDA. Signal Detect Port A.
LED 6
ERRA. Signal error on Port A, equivalent to Loss of Signal
OR Loss of Framing OR Loss of Cell Delineation.
LED 7 SDB. Signal Detect Port B.
LED 8 ERRB: Signal error on Port B, equivalent to Loss of Signal
OR Loss of Framing OR Loss of Cell Delineation.
3.3 DAG 3.6D Card LED Display Functions
Description On the DAG 3.6D series of cards LEDs 1 and 2 display when powered up.
When DS3 signals are applied LEDs 6 and 8 should go out, LEDs 5 and 7
should come on. The status of these LEDs should not change during
normal operation of the card.
LED 4 flashes when an external clock synchronization cable is connected
to the RJ45 socket. LED 3 lights when a capture is in progress.
Figure Figure 3-2 shows the correct LED state for the DAG 3.6D card without
input signal.

dagthree
utility
The
dagthree
utility supports configuration status and physical layer
interface statistics for the DAG 3.6D card.
When troubleshooting, options
–si
should be passed to the tool to watch
the operational status of the physical, PDH and framing layers. More
details about the meaning of the various bits are supplied through the help
page (
dagthree –h)
as well as via the manual page.
