Power On and Self Diagnostics
Once you have completed all of the installation steps above, flip the On/Off switch to the ON (up)
position.The unit starts a self-test sequence, when you should see a series of LEDs blinking (LED,
64K, 128K). After this cycle is complete, the PWR light should stay on.
If the test routine fails, the LNK LED flashes.
If you have a communication program loaded and active (connected to the same serial port as the
Omni 128L), you should see the DTRLED ON after the self-test.
