Reading the LED
The 950AP has a multi-color LED indicator to show the unit’s status
and locate it in Identify mode.
LED startup sequence
1. When you connect to a power source, the 950AP’s LED is orange
for about a second to indicate it is receiving power.
2. The LED flashes orange for a few seconds to indicate that the
950AP is starting up and conducting self-tests. If any tests fail,
the LED changes to steady orange to indicate a fatal error.
3. The LED is steady red after startup to indicate normal operation.
If there is a fatal error at any time, the LED is steady orange. If it
remains in this state for more than a second, try disconnecting and
reconnecting power to the 950AP. Otherwise, contact Red-M technical
support.
