follows:
1. The three LEDs light up briefly for about 1 second and then go dark again.
2. None of the LEDs light up for about 4 seconds.
3. The RUN LED starts flashing.
4. When the startup of the PN/J1939 LINK is successfully complete and the connection to
the S7 controller is established, the RUN LED lights up.
