Using the front panel LEDs for troubleshooting
This section explains how to use the satellite router’s front panel LEDs to recognize and
troubleshoot problems.
Before proceeding, make sure the transmit and receive cables are securely tightened.
• Make sure each connector is properly aligned (not cross-threaded).
• Finger tight with no connector play is adequate.
Note:
The router may operate correctly when first installed even if the transmit and receive
cable connectors are not adequately tightened. However, problems could develop later.
Therefore, correct operation of the satellite router’s is not an indication that the cables are
adequately tightened.
