Chapter 2 Functional Description
Route Processor Card
LED Matrix Display
The LED matrix displays one row of four characters. The matrix becomes active when the CPU powers
on and displays the stages of the boot process, as well as displaying runtime information during normal
operation. If there are CAN Bus Controller problems, error messages are displayed.
LED Matrix Boot Stage and Runtime Display
Table 2-3
describes the RSP LED matrix displays of the stages of the boot process and runtime information.
Table 2-4
describes the RSP-440 and RP LED matrix displays of the stages of the boot process and runtime
information.
Not all of these messages are seen during a successful boot up process because the screen is updated too
quickly for the message to be visible. A failure detected during the boot up process results in the message
remaining visible indicating the stage where the boot up process stopped. When possible, the RSP/RP
card logs the failure information and reboots.
Synchronization
(SYNC)
Green
System timing is synchronized to an external timing source including
IEEE 1588.
Amber
System timing is free running.
Off
(Default after reset)
LED never turns off.
Internal Solid
State Hard Disk
Drive (SSD)
Green
Internal Solid State Hard Disk Drive (SSD0) is busy/active. The LED is
driven by the SSD controller.
Off
(Default after reset)
Internal Solid State Hard Disk Drive is not busy/active.
FC Fault
Amber
A fault has occurred on any or all of the FC cards installed. This LED will
be on during the boot phase of the FC.
Off
(Default after reset)
FC cards are booted up and ready.
GPS
Green
GPS interface provisioned and ports are turned on. ToD, 1 PPS, 10 Mhz are
all valid.
Off
(Default after reset)
Either the interface is not provisioned, or the ports are not turned on. ToD,
1 PPS, and 10 Mhz are not valid.
