LED Sequences
System Start-up/Boot LED Sequence
For LED locations, see Figure 11 on page 23 for the FX7500 and Figure 14 on page 26 for the FX9600.
During system start-up:
1. All LEDs turn on for a few seconds when power is applied to the reader.
2. All LEDs turn off and the PWR LED turns amber.
3. The PWR LED turns green to indicate successful RFID application initialization.
4. When the sequence completes, the green PWR LED remains on and all other LEDs are off.
PWR LED Sequence to Indicate IPv4 Status after Booting
After the RFID application initializes:
1. The PWR LED turns green for 5 seconds to indicate success (following the sequence from System
Start-up/Boot LED Sequence).
2. The reader checks the eth0 IPv4 address and indicates the IPv4 status using the LEDs:
• If the reader has a DHCP address, the PWR LED blinks green for 3 seconds.
• If the reader has static IP address, the PWR LED blinks amber 3 seconds.
• If the reader has an IP address from zero-configuration networking algorithm, the PWR LED blinks
red for 3 seconds.
• If the reader doesn't have valid IP, the PWR LED blinks amber and green using a 90-second timeout
to indicate that it is waiting to acquire an IP address.
• If it obtains a valid IP within the timeout period, the reader indicates the status as described
above.
• If the timeout expires before the reader obtains an IP, the PWR LED stops blinking.
3. The PWR LED again turns solid green.
Reset to Factory Defaults LED Sequence
Holding the reset button for 8 seconds resets the reader to the factory default configuration.
1. All LEDs turn on as usual when you press and hold the reset button.
2. The PWR LED blinks amber when the reset button is held.
3. The PWR LED blinks green fast 5 times to indicate that the reader detects a reset operation.
4. Release the reset button to reset the reader to factory defaults.
LED Sequence for Software Update Status
1. The PWR LED blinks red during the software update process.
2. After reset, the STAT LED blinks red if the radio module requires a firmware update.
