Operation

The AdderLink XD150FX modules are designed to be transparent in operation; all peripherals should respond exactly as they would when situated next to your host computer.

INDICATORS

The transmitter and receiver modules contain various indicators to provide you with status information. Both modules have four red indicators on their front panels.

Red status indicators

The red status indicators on the front panels of each module mostly behave in the same manner at the same time:
