Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
There are two LEDs at the front on the enclosure:
• Red LED: Represents system power.
– If red LED is on, Connectivity Server is powered.
– If red LED is off, Connectivity Server is not pow-
ered.
• Green LED: Represents RS-485 (only) communi-
cation status.
– If green LED is blinking, RS-485 communication
is working properly. The blinking rate will be 0.25
seconds on and 0.25 seconds off (2 Hz).
– If green LED is off, RS-485 communication is not
working properly or RS-485 interface is not con-
nected.
