2. If the POWER indicator is ON, but the Link indicator is OFF, check for the following:
a. Make sure the appropriate cables are being used.
b. Cable and cable connectors are not broken.
c. For each unit, the transmit (TX) cable is connected to the other unit’s receiver
(RX).
3. If the POWER indicator and Link indicator are ON, but the channels are not operating,
then:
a. Check to see that the attached user equipment is turned on.
b. Both ends of the link are connected to the corresponding equipment and to
the same corresponding channel port.
