Like the LCM, the SM also indicates its status through the STATUS and COND LEDs 
on the front of the module housing.  In addition, the SM's transponder module has 
three more indicator LEDs that provide additional information about the remote 
connection, i.e., the transponder status. 

If communication with the headend controller cannot be established, check the state 
of the SM by observing the Heart Beat, Receive, and Error indicator LEDs on the 
transponder module.  See the next section, SM Transponder Module Indicators for 
a description. 

Further troubleshooting, based in LED indications, requires the use of the handheld 
programming terminal. 

Complete the following steps to verify the operating state of the SM. 
1  Connect the Model 91200 Handheld Programming Terminal to the local control 

port on the SM.  Refer to Manually Assisting SM Configuration/Registration 
Using the Model 91200 Handheld Programming Terminal (on page 28) for 
instructions. 

2  View menu item 8 - STATUS to verify the current operating state of the SM. 

Note:  The possible operating state indications are: "No Frequency Found", "Ch-
Des", or "Registered". 

3  Follow the troubleshooting procedures in the next sections based on the 

indicated operating state. 

 

The transponder module in the status monitor contains three LED indicators which 
are visible through the front of the status monitor's housing. 

Note:  Refer to Status Monitor Description (on page 7) for an illustration showing 
the LED indicators. 

These LEDs are used to indicate the transponder's operating state as described in the 
following table.
