Proprietary and Confidential
Status Indicator
The LED Status Indicator is primarily intended to support installation personnel for
immediate feedback. The following sequences define the Fixed Network solution's
operational characteristics:
Sequence details: The dot time: 100 mSec
The dash time is 300 mSec
Off Time between B and N: 700 mSec
Off time between dot and dash: 100 mSec
Collector State
Description
LED Pattern
Off
The collector is not running.
Off
Powered
(Host booting)
When power has been applied to
the collector and the collector reset
has been released allowing the
boot operation to begin.
Solid continuous illumination
Time Acquisition The collector is attempting to
synchronize its system time with
an external time reference through
NTP and/or GPS.
Note Repeaters do not support
NTP. Instead, repeaters acquire
time from either the collector or
from GPS. If time is received from
the collector, the repeater status
indicator will not display the
Morse T.
Morse code for the letter ‘T’ ( _ ). A single 660
ms flash repeated every 10 seconds.
Starting The Linux kernel has been loaded
and initialized and the collector
application begins execution.
Morse code for the letter ‘P’ ( . _ _ . ) with the
dits at 220 ms the dahs at 660 ms and 220 ms
spacing between the dits and dah. Repeated
every 10 seconds.
ERT Heard The radio processor has booted
and is reporting end-point
messages to the host processor.
Morse code for the letter ‘N’ ( _ . )
Headend Connected The collector has established an
authenticated connection with the
head-end over the configured
WAN interface.
Morse code for the letter ‘B’ ( _ . . . )
