The CXCI/CXCI+ has three LEDs located on the front panel. These are used to display the alarm status of the
power system, CXCI/CXCI+ progress and status during startup, and file transfers.

The CXCI/CXCI+ illuminates the LED that corresponds to the system alarm status. The
following show the corresponding alarm status for each LED color:
Green
– OK, no alarms present
Yellow
– Minor alarm is present (no major alarms)
Red
– Major alarm is present.
Only one LED is illuminated at a time during alarm conditions.

Progress and Status Indication
The LEDs are also used in the following situations:
Base unit validation
– all three LEDs are on at the same time.
File transfer
– when recovering from invalid firmware application – the red LED is illuminated.

Reset
A reset button is located on the front panel for restarting the CXCI/CXCI+’s microprocessor.

Modem Port (not available on the CXCI+)
The Modem port (front panel DB-9 connector, Figure 6) is designed for CXCI connection to Alpha Technologies’
Cordex DC Modem #018-585-20 (complete with Alpha cable).
CAUTION: Connect only Alpha-supplied modem and cable; otherwise, equipment damage can
result.

Ethernet Port
The Ethernet port is designed for CXCI/CXCI+ connection to a user supplied network (TCP/IP secured by user)
via a front panel RJ-45 jack (Figure 6) and a standard network cable.
Local access (e.g. laptop computer) is also possible from the Ethernet port connection using a standard network
crossover cable.
