Status LEDs The following table summarizes the status indicated by the Bluesocket BSC-1200
BlueSecure Controller light emitting diodes (LEDs).
LCD The BSC provides a 2x16 character liquid crystal display (LCD) to display the IP address
configured for its protected interface.
Shutdown/
Restart Control
If the BSC is running and you press the front-panel Shutdown/Restart button, the BSC will
stop all active services after a slight delay. When all BSC services are shutdown, the
message
Bluesocket Stopped appears on the LCD display.
To power down the BSC-1200 while the
Bluesocket Stopped message is displayed, set
the rear panel power switch to the OFF(O) position.
To restart the BSC-1200 while the
Bluesocket Stopped message is displayed, press the
front-panel Shutdown/Restart button a second time.The BSC services will restart again
after a slight delay. In approximately 30 to 60 seconds, the LCD display indicates that
BSC services have re-started.
Serial Port The BSC provides a serial port equipped with a DB-9, male connector to support local
console configuration of the BSC. Normally, you will never use the BSC serial port. You
should configure the BSC via its serial interface only in the rare event that you lose access
to the BSC’s web interface due to an Internet service outage. The BSC serial interface
supports only a subset of the BSC’s configurable parameters. See “Serial Port Access to
Essential Functions” on page D-1 for details about accessing the BSC serial interface.
Fail Over Port Use the Fail Over port to connect the BSC to another BSC via Ethernet for failover
operation. The Fail Over port is equipped with a copper, RJ-45 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
connector. Use a straight through cable with no switches or hubs in between to connect
the two failover BSCs directly together.
Configuration of the BSC for failover operation is described in “Configuring Failover
Parameters” on page 4-25.

LED 100/Status Link/Activity
System Lights to indicate the BSC system is running and
its CPU is active.
Flickers when the BSC is writing data to or
reading data from non-volatile memory.
Protected Lights to indicate that the BSC Protected Port is
connected to a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps)
network.
Lights when a valid link has been established on
the Ethernet cable connected to the Protected
Port. Flickers when data is received on the
Protected Port.
Managed Lights to indicate that the BSC Managed Port is
connected to a Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps)
network.
Lights when a valid link has been established on
the Ethernet cable connected to the Managed
Port. Flickers when data is received on the
Managed Port.
Fail Over Lights to indicate that the BSC Fail Over Port is
connected to another BSC via Fast Ethernet
(100 Mbps).
Lights when a valid link has been established on
the Ethernet cable connected to the Fail Over
Port. Flickers when data is received on the Fail
Over Port.
POWER
On/Off
Lights when the BSC is connected to an AC power source and its rear-panel power switch is in the
ON position (|).
