Testing the media server LEDs

You can test some of the LEDs on the front of the media server through the Maintenance Web Interface. This makes sure that the Active/Standby and U2 LEDs (on the front of the media server) and the transmit LED on the DAJ1 duplication memory card (on the back of the media server) are controllable and not burned out and that the media server is not hung.

NOTE:

The U2 LED is controlled by the S8700 Media Server but does not have an assigned function.

The other LEDs are exclusively under hardware control so will not flash during the test. See the OEM user documentation that comes with the media server for information on those LEDs.

During the 1-minute test, the Active/Standby and U2 LEDs alternate from being on (amber) for 1 second and off for 1 second off. The transmit LED cycles from red (on 1 second, off 1 second) to green (on

1 second, off 1 second).
