Unit Status Indicators 

The modes of operation of the Standby, Active and Power LEDs on the LCD panel are 
described in the table below. 

Indicator Status NetEnforcer 

Status 

Standby 

On 

Two NetEnforcers are connected in Parallel Redundancy 
mode and this NetEnforcer is the secondary system. 

 

Off 

This NetEnforcer is the primary system. If you have one 
NetEnforcer, this should be the normal state of the LED. If 
you have two NetEnforcers configured in Parallel 
Redundancy mode, this NetEnforcer is the primary system. 

Active 

On 

NetEnforcer is in Active mode. 

 

Off 

NetEnforcer is in Bypass mode, or this is the secondary 
NetEnforcer in a Parallel Redundancy configuration and it 
is not active. Traffic passes through NetEnforcer with no 
Quality of Service or traffic shaping. 

Power 

On 

NetEnforcer is powered up. 

 

Off 

NetEnforcer is shut down.
