Power Injector LEDs
The bridge uses a blinking code to identify various error conditions. The code sequence uses a two-digit 
diagnostic code that starts with a long pause to delimit the code, followed by the LED flashing red to 
count out the first digit, then a short pause, followed by the LED flashing red to count out the second 
digit (see Table 6-2).
Power Injector LEDs
The power injector contains three LEDs to provide status information on the wired Ethernet link, the 
bridge Ethernet link, and the bridge status. When the power injector is powered up, it sends a constant 
discovery tone on the dual-coax cables to the bridge. When the bridge is connected to the dual-coax 
cables, it returns the discovery tone to the power injector. When the power injector detects the returned 
discovery tone, it applies +48 VDC to the dual-coax cables to the bridge.
When power is applied to the bridge, the bridge activates the bootloader and begins the POST operations. 
The bridge begins to load the IOS image when the Post operations are successfully completed. Upon 
successfully loading the IOS image, the bridge initializes and tests the radio.
