9.3.2.2 Troubleshooting Expansion Hub LEDs During Normal Operation
• All of the Expansion Hub LINK and E-HUB/RAU LEDs that have RAUs connected
should be Green/Green, indicating that the RAU is powered on, communication is
established, and operation is normal.
• The
POWER, EHUB STATUS, DL STATUS, and UL STATUS LEDs should all be Green.

Off If the RAU was disconnected acci-
dentally, re-connect the CATV
cable. The Expansion Hub’s port
LEDs should change to Green/Red
(then Green/Green, after 20 sec-
onds, if the Main Hub is connected,
powered on, and has band pro-
grammed).
Use AdminBrowser’s “Clear All
Disconnect Status” command if
you are permanently removing the
RAU from service. The Expansion
Hub’s port LEDs should change to
Off/Off.
The RAU was previously connected,
but it is not currently connected; the
