1.2.1 Rear Panel Indicators
The back of the Protocol Converter has the following indicators:
• Two data transmit/receive indicators to show when data is being transmitted and received through the EIA-485
port (the Dual Port Protocol Converter contains three EIA-485 ports and three sets of data transmit-receive indicators).
When data is either being transmitted or received, the status lights will blink. If no information is being communicated,
the lights are off.
• One status indicator to show when the Protocol Converter is booting up or has an alarm
condition. If neither of these is occurring, the light is off.
