Red/Green  Concatenation channel – see following table 

 
Note: For units connected in a concatenated network, data on aggregate channels 2 
and 3 is broadcast to all configured V.24 ports regardless of whether there is 
equipment connected to those ports. In these cases Channel B and C Rx LEDs (viz. 
data being transmitted from a DCE port) will signal green as traffic is carried. 
 
LEDs 11 & 12 illuminate according to equipment and aggregate status on the 
associated port. When communications are healthy, the LED should be solid green 
for an enabled port.
