5.1 Status Button
The L-Switch XP is equipped with a status button (see Figure 1). When pressing the status
button shortly during normal operation of the L-Switch XP, it sends a “Service Pin
Message” on every port. Note, that every L-Switch XP port has its own unique node ID
(“Neuron ID”).
Pressing the status button longer than 2 seconds will allow you to select the port to sends
out the “Service Pin Message” message: The port LED of the currently selected port will
light up orange. After 2 seconds the next available port will be selected. When the status
button is released the “Service Pin Message” is sent out on the currently selected port.
If the L-Switch XP is operated in smart switch mode (see Section 4.1.1) or repeater mode
(see Section 4.1.2) pressing the status button for more than 20 seconds resets the switching
tables (see Section 5.5).
