RJ45 LED Indicators
On the Model 5401A’s back panel there are
three RJ45 jacks that are provided for inter-
facing with the unit’s three Ethernet ports.
Two of the ports are typically used for Dante
and the third for management functions.
The Ethernet ports are labeled Dante PRI,
Dante SEC, and MGMT. Associated with
each RJ45 jack are two LEDs. One LED
is labeled LINK and lights orange when a
GigE Ethernet connection has been estab-
lished with that specific port. The other LED
is labeled ACT and flashes green to indicate
activity, responding to Ethernet data travel-
ing through the specific port.
The Model 5401A’s three Ethernet ports,
as a group, can be configured, using the
Dante Controller application, to operate in
one of four network configuration modes:
Switched, Redundant, Switched+Mgmt, and
Redundant+Mgmt. Details about the four
network configuration modes are provided
in other sections of this guide. The manner
in which the LEDs associated with each
RJ45 jack will light depends on the network
configuration. The following sections detail
the operation of the LEDs based on the
specific network configuration.
Switched Network Mode
Dante PRI RJ45 LEDs:
LINK (Orange): Off if no Ethernet signal is
connected or if a 100 Mb/s Ethernet signal
is connected; lit if a GigE Ethernet signal is
connected.
ACT (Green): Off if no data traffic; flashes
to show data traffic.
Dante SEC RJ45 LEDs:
LINK (Orange): Off if no Ethernet signal is
connected or if a 100 Mb/s Ethernet signal
is connected; lit if a GigE Ethernet signal is
connected.
ACT (Green): Off if no data traffic; flashes
to show data traffic.
MGMT RJ45 LEDs:
LINK (Orange): Off if no Ethernet signal is
connected or if a 100 Mb/s Ethernet signal
is connected; lit if a GigE Ethernet signal is
connected.
ACT (Green): Off if no data traffic; flashes
to show data traffic.
Redundant Network Mode
Same as Switched.
Switched+Mgmt Network Mode
Dante PRI RJ45 LEDs:
LINK (Orange): Off if no Ethernet signal is
connected or if a 100 Mb/s Ethernet signal
is connected; lit if a GigE Ethernet signal is
connected.
ACT (Green): Off if no data traffic; flashes
to show data traffic.
Dante SEC RJ45 LEDs:
LINK (Orange): Off if no Ethernet signal is
connected or if a 100 Mb/s Ethernet signal
is connected; lit if a GigE Ethernet signal is
connected.
ACT (Green): Off if no data traffic; flashes
to show data traffic.
MGMT RJ45 LEDs:
LINK (Orange): Will not light.
ACT (Green): Will not light.
Redundant+Mgmt Network Mode
Same as Switched+Mgmt.
