“ERROR” Indicator

“ERROR” red indicator makes it possible to infer about problems in the router functioning.
The type of the indicated problem can be answered by the number of indicator flashes:
  1. One Flash. Demodulator cannot receive MCPC channel from the Hub (other Terminal). Please check AGC value in the demodulator statistics to determine whether there is a signal from antenna (see description of reception problems) to separate LNB and cable faults.
  2. Two Flashes. Router cannot receive TDMA configuration from the HUB (TDM/TDMA network mode). The reason can be in the non-availability of receive channel from the HUB, CRC errors during reception, wrong configuration of the Terminal.
  3. Three Flashes. Router cannot calculate time shift with respect to the HUB. The reason can be in the non-availability of reception or a large number of CRC errors during reception.
  4. Four Flashes. HUB cannot receive signal from this terminal. Please check transmit signal level of the terminal, whether power supply and the reference signal for the transmitter are switched on (or off if required), whether DTTS or geographical coordinates are set correctly in the TDMA settings.
  5. Five Flashes. Unit is in Backup state of Redundancy mode. Not an error. 
  6. Continuous. The router has hardware or configuration errors.
If ERROR indicator is continuously lit upon power on it means a hardware failure of UHP has occurred, which prevents software from starting. Try to power it off and power on again or press RESET button on rear panel.


“STATUS” Indicator

“STATUS” green indicator indicates the router operation mode. This indicator is always flashing. If it does not flash it means that the router is not functioning (please check power supply).
  1. Slow flashing (once every second) means router is in normal operation.
  2. Faster flashing (3 times every second) means that a Telnet remote control session is established (in this case USB console does not operate until session is over).
  3. Fast (6 times every second), simultaneous flashing of “ERROR” and “STATUS” indicators means that the router is functioning with the factory default configuration. Access to the router in this mode is possible either via USB of via IP-address 192.168.222.222 (mask 255.255.255.248 or /29).
