Section 3: Front Panel Overview & Operation
3.0 Introduction
The front panel is used to locally control the system. Figure 3-1 shows the front panel
of a 1 RU RCP2/FPRC controller.
3.0.1 System Identification
A label on the lower left hand corner of the controller front panel displays the model
number and a brief description of the unit. The serial number is located on the rear
panel of the controller.
3.0.2 Fault Indicators
The fault indicator LEDs illuminate RED when the corresponding fault condition occurs.
There are fault lights for Summary, Unit 1, Unit 2, and Power Supply faults. The RCP2-
1200 and FPRC-1200 also includes a fault light for Unit 3. See Figure 3-2.
3.0.3 Signal Path Mimic Display
The front panel mimic display provides a visual representation of the redundant system
block diagram. Green LEDs indicate the position of the transfer switches showing the
RF signal path from the RF input to the RF output. Figure 3-3 shows the various signal
path mimic displays based on the controller model.
