Lights when Local A/B Switch is set in

middle position. Indicates module is set for Gang Switch
Control, Local Signal Control, or ASCII Code Control.

Â

“A” Indicator:

Lights when data path is established

between Common port and port “A”.

Ã

“B” Indicator:

Lights when data path is established

between Common Port and port “B”.

Ä

RXD Indicator:
