CAP M2 with Fiber Interface

Powering on a Fiber CAP M 2

Power the CAP M2

The CAP M2 is powered on as soon as power is connected to it. Under normal operating conditions, the Power

LED turns on briefly when the unit is first detected. It will then go out briefly, followed by an initialization

period during which the Power LED flashes slowly while the CAP M2 is configured. The Power LED remains

a steady green (not flashing) once the unit reaches a fully operational state, which typically occurs within 45

seconds.

For the CAP M2 to operate, the Mains power must be connected to the CAP M2 Mains connector. Either an AC

or a DC power cable is delivered with each CAP M2—the type of power cable delivered is dependent on the

type of power supply in the CAP M2.

The Power LED behavior for a Fiber CAP M2 is as follows:

• Steady Green – CAP/UAP is on and operational

• Slow Flashing Green – The CAP/UAP has been powered on and is initializing or if it is updating software.

• Fast Flashing Green – The CAP unit identifier is active via the Flash LED function in the Era GUI.

• Slow-Flashing Red – The Era GUI is reporting a critical alarm for the unit. The CAP can be recovered

without replacing hardware.

• Steady Red – The Era GUI is reporting a critical alarm for the unit. The CAP or CAP component (e.g SFP+

module) must be replaced.
