User Guide

Operation

User Interface

The Thunder front panel incorporates a series of LEDs that are used to display the system 
status to the user.

Primary Display

The primary display on the left side 

has LED indicators for: Power, Optical input 1 and 2 

status conditions (channel in use/un-used channel “readiness”), System Link, Data 
Activity (for data channels 1 and 2 on the mainboard only), and 2 “Local” / “Remote” bar 
graphs with 9 segments, 3dBm/segment, each representing optical input power applied to 
both the local and remote Thunder chassis’.

Power 

Indicates the input power conditions of the Thunder chassis:

• Unlit when the power switch is turned off.

• Illuminates solid yellow (red/green mix) when powered on and the primary power (AC 

Line Input) source only is being supplied to the chassis.

• Illuminates solid green when powered on and both the primary (AC Line) and 

secondary (10Vdc to 30Vdc) power sources are being supplied to the chassis.

• Illuminates solid red when powered on, but the primary power has failed and the 

chassis is now operating on the secondary (back-up) power source.

OPT - IN 1

Indicates status/conditions of the primary SFP optical receiver.

Condition 1 – No optical signal present
