I'm experiencing the same problem, i've got switch-type net5 as i'm in
Australia, and sometimes the red light appears, the boss always gets me to
reboot the thing to get rid of the red light, but i dont see any problem
with dialup customers with modems and ISDN connections, all seems very fine
to me, but the boss thinks its the telco down here, they're monitoring it
and they haven't came across any frame alignment errors or anything, they
are still monitoring, i believe there IS a problem but of course, it MUST be
the telco.

Subject: (PM) Red LED untrusted...

:Following on from posts yesterday about aberrant "red+green" indicators on
:a successfully operating euro ISDN PRI, I have been seeing this behaviour
:for months. After a reboot or removing the PRI, the line shows green only,
:but within hours (or at most 2 or 3 days), the red light is also back on.
:The service remains fully accessible to dialup and ISDN even under these
:conditions, and "sho line0" etc look normal.
:
:At first I tried to rectify this, but a few days and a borrowed ISDN expert
:complete with 40K-worth of diagnostic kit left us convinced that the PRI
:was behaving as expected.
:
:Is there a known bug with the LED control or something that explains this
:weirdness? - archives search hasnt thrown up anything.
:
:M.
:
:PS this is a 3.7.2c3 box with 32Mb RAM and a STAC card and another 3.7.2c3
:chassis with only 4Mb that I am seeing this on. Both have been up for over
:30 days with this 'red light on' condition, with no detectable degradation
:to performance as regards logins etc.
:
:It's hard enough running a unit with hardly any flashing lights to impress
:the boss: a scary red light that you have to explain doesnt mean theres a
:problem just makes things harder... ;)
