LED Indicators
The LEDs on the Expansion Transmitter display the status of power to the
module and the status of the expansion port.
The PWR LED is ON when the module is receiving 5 V DC power from the CPU
or NIU. It is OFF when the module is detached from the CPU/NIU or when the
CPU/NIU itself is not receiving power.
The EXP TX LED is either blinking or ON when the Expansion Transmitter is
communicating with the Bus Receiver Modules connected to it through the
expansion bus link. It is OFF when they are not communicating.
