3Configure the conditions for the Alert LED.

4Click on OK when the Alert LED setup is complete.

If any Alert conditions are active, the conditions are displayed in red. The other conditions are displayed in green. If the active conditions are enabled, the Alert LED will be lit.

In the Alerts panel:

Alert LED Test Enabled / Disabled

Allows you to test the Alert LED. If you select Enable and click on OK, the Alert LED lights regardless of the true alert condition of the hub.

When you have finished your test, remember to disable to Alert LED Test. To do this, select Disable and click on OK. The Alert LED now reflects the current Alert condition of the hub.

UTP Port Partition Enabled / Disabled

Allows you to specify whether the Alert LED lights if a UTP port becomes partitioned, which happens if a network loop occurs.

If this condition is resolved after causing the Alert LED to light, the LED goes off (it stays lit if other conditions also caused it to light).
