What does it mean when the TX light located on the front of the modem does not come on when setting up a system.

No Tx Light:

1. System may not be "activated" in the NMS at the hub
2. System does not know where it is geographically located (read: isnt getting GPS NMEA to calculate its fame start).
3. Downstream SNR (C/N) may be extremely low (under 5.5) and is not enough to unmute the TX on the iDirect
