LED Position Notes
TXD This LED will flash anytime data is transmitted by MATRIX BACnet Router to
the MS/TP network. On an active network, this light should flash anytime the
device passes the token to another device or routes a request made by another
device on the BACnet/IP or BACnet/Ethernet network.
RXD This LED will flash anytime data is received by MATRIX BACnet Router from
the MS/TP network. On an active network, this light should flash anytime there
is activity on the MS/TP network.
PERR THis LED will flash upon the event a parity error occurs on the MS/TP network.
A parity error is caused by a mismatch between the calculated checksum and
value received with the packet. The most common reason for a packet error is if
more than one unit is attempting to communicate on the network at once,
indicating the presence of a duplicate token or duplicate MAC Address.
BERR This LED will flash upon the event a byte error occurs on the MS/TP network. A
byte error is caused when information is lost during network communications,
and is detected in the start, stop, or data bit timings. The most common reason
for a byte error is due to devices attempting to communicate on the MS/TP
network at different baud rates.
