– Power LED off — No power is being supplied to the controller.
Either the power cord is unplugged, or the power source is broken.
– Power LED dim — The controller is receiving power but is not
connected to an active 1394 port.
– Power LED on — The controller is receiving power and is
connected to an active 1394 port.
• Communication LED — The COM LED blinks whenever the controller
sends or receives any commands or data. This LED should blink once
when you first plug in your controller. If you are transferring a large
amount of data, this light should be on or blinking continuously.
