Descriptions of each control and indicator are provided below:

1)Alarm LED

The Alarm LED glows solid amber when the Quadra’s internal electronics have exceeded the maximum internal temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Note that this is a warning only, and users should take corrective action to avoid damage to the unit.

2)Ethernet Activity LED

The Ethernet Activity LED blinks green when there is data traffic over the Quadra’s Ethernet connection.

3)Ethernet Link LED

The Ethernet Link LED glows solid green when there is a valid Ethernet connection between Quadra and another Ethernet device. Note that if an RS-232 connection only is used, this LED will be off.

4)Reset Button

Press the Reset Button to perform a hard reset. Use an unfolded paper clip to press the button, which is located inside the small access hole. When pressed, systems parameters are unchanged (this is equivalent to cycling the power).

5)Comms Default Button

Press the Communications Default Button to reset the IP address to the factory default (192.168.1.200) and reset the RS-232 serial port to 9600 baud (use and unfolded paper clip to actuate the switch).

6)AC Power Switch

Use the AC Power Switch to turn the Quadra on and off. When the unit is on, the LED inside the switch glows red.
