LED Operation 

The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module features several diagnostic LEDs per port.  
The LED functions are: 

 

ER 

 

LOS 

 

 

PRBS 

 

LPBK 

 

ER 

 

LOS 

 

 

RM 

 

 

RAI

 

LEDs Next to Coax (BNC) Port 

Flashes yellow whenever a line code violation is 
received. 

Glows red when the BNC is receiving no signal and is in 
an LOS ALARM state, resulting in sending an RAI signal 
to the fiber port.  If Fault Loopback is set to ON, then 
AIS will also be sent to the Coax line as well. 

Glows green when the BNC port receives a valid 
Pseudorandom Bit Sequence.  Off when the port is not 
receiving a Pseudorandom Bit Sequence.   

Glows yellow when the module is in either coax or fiber 
loopback mode. 

LEDs Next to Fiber Optic Port 

Glows yellow when a fiber symbol error has been 
received.  

Glows red when a link is not established and is in a LOS 
ALARM state and will send an AIS signal to the BNC 
Line.  If Fault Loopback is enabled, then an RAI Signal is 
also sent to the fiber line. 

Glows green on the Remote Unit when set to DSW S1-
10.  Glows green on the Local unit when it has 
discovered a Remote management with Remote Unit 
enabled. 

Glows

 

yellow when a Remote Alarm Indication is 

received on the fiber port.  When the fiber port receives 
an RAI signal, this will force AIS to transmit on the COAX 
Line. 

 

Features 

The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS-LineTerm module includes several features that allow it to be 
configured for DS3, E3/STS, or STS-based environments.
