.

White text next to an LED relates to Basic Rate
operation on the S interface, orange text relates to Basic
Rate operation on the U interface and blue text relates to
Primary Rate operation.

The LEDs have the following labels, colors and
functions:

TE

Green

 shows the unit is operating in TE mode

on the S or U interface.

NT  LT Green

 shows the unit is operating in NT mode

on the S interface or LT mode on the U
interface.

MON

Green

 shows the unit is operating in monitor

mode.

BERT SYNC

Green

 shows a BER test is running and pattern

synchronization has been achieved on the data
call in progress.
