Indicator Light

State

Indication

Power (green)

Off

Unit is powered off.

 

On

Unit is powered on.

10/100 link status

Off

Loss of signal on the 10/100 link.

(green)a

 

 

On

The 10/100 link is up but no traffic is passing over the link.

 

 

Blinking

Indicates the presence of traffic on the 10/100 link.

Gigabit link status

Off

Loss of signal on the Gigabit link.

(amber)a

 

 

On

The Gigabit link is up but no traffic is passing over the link.

 

 

Blinking

Indicates the presence of traffic on the Gigabit link.

Alarm (green)

Off

Normal operation.

 

On

The unit is in an error state. This occurs when the

 

 

diagnostics detect a boot failure, a critical error threshold is

 

 

exceeded, or a FIPS test fails when the ETEP is in FIPS

 

 

mode.

Status (1,2,3,4)

Off

Unit is up and operational.

 

On

Displays diagnostic codes during boot up.

 

 

 

a. The link status LEDs are on the remote and local data ports, Ethernet management port, and Aux1 port.
