Microprocessor boot up failure. Reseat the
GX2-EA1000C*/* in the GX2-HSG* slot or in a known
good slot. If still flashing red, return the GX2-
EA1000C* for repair.
Check the status LEDs on other GX2 application
modules in the GX2-HSG*. If they are not lit, verify
that power is applied to the system.
Check the status LEDs on other GX2 application
modules in the GX2-HSG*. If they are also red, a
possible GX2 system-powering problem may exist.
Perform the following checks before contacting the
TRC.
Check the
STATUS
LEDs on other GX2 application
modules in the GX2-HSG*. If they are also yellow, a
possible system powering problem may exist.
Perform the following checks before contacting the
TRC.
Verify that the interface connector and optical
bulkhead connector on the GX2-EA1000C*/* are
clean. See Section 3, “Installation and Setup” for the
cleaning procedure. Ensure that you follow all safety
precautions when cleaning the interface connector
and optical bulkhead.
A red LED indicates that the signal level may be too
high. Measure the input signal level at
RF TP
1 and
verify that it is within the acceptable specification
limit noted in Appendix A, “Specifications.” Readjust
the input signal as required.
A yellow LED indicates that the signal level may be
too low. Measure the input signal level at
RF TP
1 and
verify that it is within the acceptable specification
limit noted in Appendix A, “Specifications.” Readjust
the input signal as required.
Measure the optical output power using an optical
power meter. If marginal compared to the
appropriate module specification in Appendix A,
“Specifications” then verify that the interface
connector and optical bulkhead connector are clean.
See Section 3, “Installation and Setup” for the
cleaning procedure. Ensure that you follow all safety
