4.3 Monitoring the VDR100
4.3.1 Indicators
The VDR100 has three green LED indicators on its top surface:
NMEA 2000 : This light will be red for several seconds after powerup while the VDR100
is initializing itself. Once this process is complete, this light will be lit a steady green to indicate
that the main processor is active. The light will blink on and off to indicate data being
transferred over the NMEA 2000
®
connection. If this light is lit red after the initialization has
completed, it indicates that a problem has been detected.
LAN : This light will be on steadily to indicate that there is an active link connection between
the VDR100 and the attached device. The light will blink on and off to indicate data being
transferred over the LAN connection. If the light is off, then there is no active link connection.
USB : This light will indicate the operating state of the VDR100. Please refer to Section 1.6.2,
“Operating States”, for details of the different states.
