The MetroLAN provides you with essential information through a series of LED’s on the front
panel. The colour of some of these LED’s will depend on the type of data that is being handled
at the time, and these are described in Figure 3.2 below. Note that the LINE port label refers
to the SDH port, whilst a Tributary fault may relate to any E1/T1 line, E3/DS-3 line, LAN or a
VC fault.
