RED and GREEN LEDs next to RS-232 Serial Port
Unit powering up:
·
While the unit is searching for its IP address, the Red LED and Green LED will blink alternately. In the absence of a
DHCP server any network activity during this time should allow it to get an IP address, such as opening a web
browser.
·
Upon finding its IP address, the IPW-1A will use SonicIP to verbally announce that address. At this time the Red
LED will blink.
·
If an error is detected, the Red LED will remain on, then the Green LED will blink three or five times depending on
the error. Upon blinking the error message, the unit will reset itself. It will blink five times if the firmware is corrupt or
if there is an IP address conflict. It will blink three times if the network hardware could not be initialized, or if there is
a corrupt MAC address.
