Indicators, Inbound Data LED | AlphaShield FIREWALL specs

Indicators:

Inbound Data LED:

The Inbound Data LED will always remain solid green upon a good link

connection. It will flash green when a valid data packet is accepted by the AlphaShield Professional Edition device and under normal traffic conditions.

The Inbound Data LED will flash amber or red upon receiving illegitimate packets that are not destined to the client. These packets will not be permitted through by the AlphaShield Professional Edition device. A high occurrence of illegitimate packets will be displayed by flashing red.

Outbound Data LED:

The Outbound Data LED will always remain solid green upon a good

link connection. It will flash green when a valid data packet is transmitted through the AlphaShield Professional Edition device and under normal traffic conditions.

The Outbound Data LED will flash amber or red upon receiving illegitimate packets that are not destined to the Internet. These packets will not be permitted through by the AlphaShield Professional Edition device. A high occurrence of illegitimate packets will be displayed by flashing red.

Connection/Disconnection LED:

The indicator displays one of the following four different statuses:

1.Illuminates solid red to indicate that the connection between the PC port and the Modem port is logically or physically disconnected. No transmission of user data can pass between the PC and the Cable/xDSL ports. The computer is disconnected from the Network. The computer's IP Address assignment will be retained in Auto/Manual Mode (or will be released in Lock Mode).

2.Illuminates solid green to indicate that the connection between the PC port and the Modem port is connected. Only pre-inspected valid user session data packets are permitted to pass between the PC port and the Modem port. IP Stealth, AlphaGAP and RPA technologies are enabled. The AlphaShield Professional Edition’s Connect/Disconnect indicator must be green to establish a connection to the Internet or Network.

3.Illuminates a flashing green to indicate that the impending logical or physical disconnect 15-minute inactivity timer value is about to expire. This means that no user sessions have taken place during the timer value and the current connection is 30 seconds away from a logical or physical disconnection. Only user activity, such as clicking onto a web link, or by pressing the Connect button (Blue/Dark) at the top of the AlphaShield Professional Edition, will reset the inactivity timer value and maintain the user session.
