Blinks 5 Times Quickly, Pauses, Repeats
The POWER LED indicator blinks 5 times quickly, pauses, then repeats. This
indicates that the DHCT has stranded IPPV events.
Important: This behavior only appears when you activate the Staging Toolkit and
check for stranded IPPV events. Refer to Staging Toolkit (on page 165) for more
information.
Blinks 8 Times, Then Pauses
The POWER LED indicator blinks eight times and then pauses for half a second. This
is equivalent to the four dashes [- - - - ] LED code that appears on the front panel of
alphanumeric LED DHCTs.
This message indicates that the DHCT is not authorized for the brick mode
avoidance package. In addition, the Service Disconnect Barker message appears on
the screen of any TV connected to the DHCT.
If a DHCT has not received the brick mode avoidance package, the DHCT is
considered in brick mode. The brick mode avoidance package lets cable service
providers authorize services for the DHCT.
The possible causes for this condition are as follows:
The cable service was disconnected.

The DHCT needs to receive a hit from the billing system that authorizes services

that a subscriber has requested.
The DHCT is not authorized for the brick mode avoidance package.

The DHCT timed out while receiving EMMs.
