9.1 General 
This section describes the features available to assist the operator in tracking and correcting 
L54 radio problems. These features include a series of discrete alarm functions that will assist in 
tracking both configuration errors and radio failure conditions using the front panel controls at one end 
of a working radio link. The five multi-function LED alarm indicators on the front panel can be 
mapped to five alarm relays for connecting to external alarm reporting systems. The factory default 
mapping of the relays is shown in Table 7- 1
