Device Overview

LEDs

The device has five (5) LEDs on an end panel. Moving from left to right the LEDs

are described below.

PWR

Power LED indicates the device has power from a vehicle source

and/or an DC adapter

SAFE

This LED will be turned on whenever the device enters a mode of

operation where a known good network configuration is used. The

default SAFE configuration uses DHCP to acquire a TCP/IP address.

This LED is also used to indicate a Bluetooth enabled wiTECH

SmartCable is connected to the device and is ready for a network

connection.

BUSY

Busy LED will be on during system boot. During normal device

operation this LED is not used, remains off, and is available to

applications that wish to show the device is processing data, for

example vehicle traffic or application data crunching. When the

device boots into Recovery Mode, this LED will blink rapidly in unison

with the WLAN LED.

WLAN

This led will be on when the WLAN is being used and blink to indicate

network traffic across the interface. As noted this LED will blink

rapidly when the device boots into Recovery Mode. The WLAN led is

also used to show traffic is moving across the Bluetooth network link

when a wiTECH SmartCable is being used and the SAFE led is on.

REC

This is an application specific LED, not used directly by the device

system software,

Note: The SAFE, BUSY, WLAN, and REC LEDs will blink in an alternating

pattern when a hardware or software error is detected when the device is first

powered on. When this error state occurs the device may operate in an

unspecified or incorrect manner. When the device is in this state the SAFE and

REC LEDs will blink on while WLAN and BUSY are off, then SAFE and REC

LEDs will be off while WLAN and BUSY blink on. This can be characterized as a

railroad-crossing pattern.

If this problem should occur, attempt a reboot of the device by removing and then

re-attaching the power source. If the problem persists you should contact

Customer Support for assistance.

If an error should occur during an upgrade of the system software, all four LEDs,

SAFE, BUSY, WLAN, and REC, will turn on and remain on until the unit is

powered down. Refer to the Software Upgrades section further on in this

document for more information on this topic.
