Testing and Fault Finding (Troubleshooting)
Perform troubleshooting (fault finding) procedures either on a newly installed link, or on an
operational link if communication is lost.
When the link end hardware (PIDU, LPU, ODU and cabling) has been installed, start it by following
this procedure:
Step 1: Connect the RJ45 from the ODU (or LPU if fitted) to the PIDU and apply mains or
battery power to the PIDU. The green Power LED should illuminate continuously.
Step 2: After 30 seconds, the yellow Ethernet LED should be observed starting with 10 slow
flashes.
Step 3: Connect the RJ45 from the LAN port of the PIDU to the network. The yellow
Ethernet LED should blink randomly as traffic passes through.
If the Power and Ethernet LEDs do not illuminate correctly, test the link end as described in this
flowchart (references such as (*1) are to the tests on the following pages):
