Terminal LED light sequences

Inside the T-series Condence terminals, there are three led lights. These LED lights blink in different sequences, all of which mean different things. This support article will cover the sequences that these led lights can do.

Below is a description of how the LED lights behave and what the different blink modes mean.

Description
ON* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Led is always on.
SLOW BLINKING* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * – –Led blinks slowly once per two seconds. Pattern: (on: 1.8 seconds, off: 0.2 seconds)
FAST BLINKING* – * – * – * – * – * – * – * – * – * –Led blinks five times per second. Pattern: (on: 0.100 seconds, off: 0.100 seconds) x 5
QUICKLY TWICE* * – – * * – – – – – – – – – – – – – –Led blinks quickly two times per two seconds. Pattern: (on: 0,2 s, off: 0,2 s, on:0,2 s, off:1.4 s)

OFF– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –Led is always off.

From the left: Led 0, Led 1 and Led 2.

Led 0 is a power indicator and should always be on when power is plugged in.

Led 1 is a terminal status indicator.

Led 2 is a network status indicator.


Below are the different blink modes for Led 1.
