iTap Port Aggregator LEDs

Link Indicators: If a good link is established, the LED illuminates a steady green.

Activity Indicators: If there is current activity on this link, the LED flashes.

Utilization Alarms A and B: These LEDs illuminate red when the threshold utilization level exceeds the set threshold level. The Utilization Alarm LEDs remain illuminated until reset with the Reset button or remotely reset via Web Manager or System Manager.

PWR 1/ PWR 2: Main and Redundant Power. If the iTap is deployed with both power supplies, both LEDs illuminate when the iTap is connected to power. An off power LED indicates that the corresponding power supply is not functioning or not connected.
