LED state
Definition
Flashing
(1 Hz, 3 s)
The indicator turns on and off for 3 seconds with a frequency of 1 Hz: “on”
for 500 ms, followed by “off” for 500 ms.
Flashing
(2 Hz)
The indicator turns on and off with a frequency of 2 Hz: “on” for 250 ms,
followed by “off” for 250 ms.
Flickering
(load
dependant)
The indicator turns on and off with a frequency of approximately 10 Hz to
indicate high Ethernet activity: "on" for approximately 50 ms, followed by
"off" for 50 ms. The indicator turns on and off in irregular intervals to indicate
low Ethernet activity.
