LED Mode

The LED Mode button changes the behavior of port LEDs from the default mode to cycle through various other settings. The selected LED mode reverts to the default mode after 10 minutes. The LED modes are the following:

Default mode

In the default mode:

  • All LEDs in the LED Mode section are off.

  • Port LED behavior indicates link and activity without rate indications.

  • If a line module port is in a fault condition, its LED changes from Flashing Green (indicating activity) to Slow Flash Orange (fault condition).

Speed mode

In the speed mode:

  • The Spd (Speed) LED is On Green.

  • Port LED behavior indicates link speed. A Port LED is On Green when the link is at maximum speed and Flashing Green when the link is below maximum speed.

User 1 Mode

The behavior for the Usr1 (User 1) mode is to Light Faults. Use this mode to assist users who cannot discern between Green and Orange LEDs or who want to locate an occurring fault quickly.

In Light Faults mode:

  • The Usr1 (User 1) LED is On Green.

  • All other Green LEDs except the chassis power LEDs are Off.

  • LEDs that indicate a fault condition are Slow Flash Orange or Fast Flash Orange.
