Status Indicators and Module Label

After the module has been inserted into a terminal base (and power 
is applied), the green POWER indicator turns on and the 
FP-DO-400 informs the network module of its presence. When 
the network module recognizes the FP-DO-400, it sends initial 
configuration information to the FP-DO-400. After receiving this 
initial information, the green READY indicator turns on and the 
FP-DO-400 is in its normal operating mode. In addition to the 
green POWER and READY indicators, each channel has a 
numbered, green, output state indicator which lights when the 
channel is in the ON state.
