5.0 OPERATION
Once you have configured each Model 2085RC and connected the
cables, you are ready to operate the units. Section 5.0 describes the
LED status monitors and the power-up procedure.
5.1 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 2085RC features front panel LEDs that indicate the con-
dition of the modem and communication link. Figure 6 (below) shows
the positions of the LEDs.
•
The green “PWR” LED glows when power is applied to
the modem through its mid-plane chassis connection.
•
The green “TD” and “RD” LEDs show positive state data
activity. The red “TD” and “RD” LEDs show negative state
data activity. A solid red light indicates an idle state.
•
The green “CD” LED lights when the receive carrier is
detected; the red LED lights when the receive carrier is
absent.
5.2 POWER-UP
There is no power switch on the Model 2085RC: Power is automat-
ically applied to the 2085RC when its card-edge connector touches the
chassis’ mid-plane socket, or when the chassis’ power is turned on.

NOTE:
The 2085RC is a “hot swappable” card—it will not be
damaged by plugging it in or removing it while the rack is pow-
ered up.
