Interpreting indicator lights
The MAX 6000, MAX 3000, and MAX 800 series each have a unique set of front panel
indicator and back-panel indicator lights that display information about modems, power
(including redundant power), fault-tolerance, data-link, and Alarm events.
MAX 6000
The MAX 6000 unit’s front-panel indicator lights indicate the status of the system, the PRI
interface, and the data transfer in active sessions. Figure 1-1 shows the location of the indicator
lights on the front panel of a MAX 6000 unit.

Light
Description
Power
On when the MAX 6000 unit’s power is on.
Fault
On in one of two cases:
•
Hardware self-test in progress.
•
Hardware failure.
When a hardware self-test is in progress, the indicator light stays on. If any
type of hardware failure occurs, the indicator light flashes. If the failure is
isolated to an expansion card, the MAX 6000 unit might continue to function
without the expansion card.
Data
On when calls are active.
