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.
