System Status LEDs,

Yellow (WARN) LED Blink Codes

Continued

The yellow (WARN) blink codes are shown below. The yellow (WARN) status LED will light any time a link error is present. That is, any time at least one red (FAULT) link LED is lit, the yellow status LED will also be lit (green and red LEDs will be off).

Number of blinks:

Error:

1

RAM failure

2

FLASH checksum error

3

Invalid configuration

4

Reserved

5

Other hardware failure during self-test

6

Duplicate IP address detected

7

Cross-link failure

 

 

Hub Port LEDs

The Uplink and Downlink ports each have a status LED. The LED for

 

each port can either indicate red (FAULT) or green (NORMAL).

Green (NORMAL) LED

The green LED is on once the link has become established (active). It

 

will remain on as long as the link is active (i.e., polls/responses are re-

 

ceived within a timeout period). The green LED will blink off (~100mSec)

 

for each information-carrying frame sent or received, with a minimum of

 

100mSec “on” time between blinks.

 

When the hub detects an address loop (the same IP address is being

 

used on multiple hubs), the port is disabled and green LED will remain

 

off until the user changes the IP addresses and resets the port.

Red (FAULT) LED

On active links, the hub indicates transient errors by blinking the red LED

 

briefly (~100mSec). The red LED is on if the link has been active since

 

the hub was last powered on or reset but has subsequently become in-

 

active. A link will become inactive if the wires are disconnected, shorted,

 

or a message is dropped after three retries. If a channel has never been

 

active since the DNH was last powered-up or reset, both LEDs will be

 

off. This is intended to reduce spurious error indications for channels that

 

are completely disconnected.
