Using the LED Indicators to Determine the RMK’s Status

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES

There is a bi-color LED indicator on the side of the RMK (next to the Ethernet port) to indicate 
the RMK’s status. When the device is first powered up, the LED blinks red and green while going 
through a self-test. Once the self-test is complete, use the table below and the LED indicator to 
determine the RMK’s operating status.

If the RMK device does not function correctly, use the tables below to help find a solution.

Normal operation is amber or green for the Link LED and periodic flashing of the 
Activity LED.

Note 1 - Data transfers between Magnum’s servers and the MagWeb system 

can only transmit in one direction at a time (not simultaneously).
Note 2 - Data transfers between Magnum’s servers and the MagWeb system 

can transmit in both directions at the same time (simultaneously).
