The following chart explains the label that identifies the jacks and LEDs on the 117A4 carrier.
Label Explanation
IN Designates the modular jack that accepts the 
modular plug and cable from the preceding 
carrier to the left. If the jack is in use, this 
carrier is an “Expansion” carrier.
OUT Designates the modular jack that accepts a 
modular plug and cable to connect this 
carrier to the next carrier to the right. This 
carrier can be either a “Control” carrier (if it 
is the leftmost carrier) or an “Expansion” 
carrier.
OUT OF SYNC Designates the upper of two LEDs. If the 
LED is not lit, carrier is “in sync.”
If the LED glows red, the carrier is out of 
synchronization. Call Customer Support as 
described on the inside front cover of this 
book.
CONTROL/EXPANSION Designates the lower of two LEDs. The 
color of the LED indicates the carrier 
configuration:
Control carrier = green LED
Expansion carrier = amber LED
The light pattern indicates whether the 
carrier is operational:
Glowing steadily = no problem.
Blinking = no radio module(s) in the 
carrier.
