 Troubleshooting and Technical Support 

DeviceMaster LEDs

The DeviceMaster has network and port LEDs to indicate status. This subsection discusses:

•

TX/RX LEDs

•

Network and Device LEDs

 on Page 167

TX/RX LEDs

This subsection discusses RX and TX LEDs on the following products:

•

DB9: Comtrol device 4-port (panel mount) and 8-port models and the DeviceMaster Serial Hub 16-port.

•

RJ45: DeviceMaster RTS 16-port and 32-port models and the DeviceMaster PRO 16-port.

 

Note:

DeviceMaster DIN rail models do not have TX/RX LEDs. 

The RX (yellow) and TX (green) LEDs function accordingly when the cable is attached properly to a serial 
device.

•

After power cycling the DeviceMaster, the RX/TX LEDs are off.

•

The LEDs do not function as described until the port has been opened by an application. You can use Test 
Terminal to open a port or ports if you want to test a port or ports (

Testing Ports Using Test Terminal

 on 

Page 154).

•

If the port is configured for RS-232/422 mode:

-

RX LEDs (yellow) are lit

-

TX LEDs (green) are lit when as the data exits the port

•

If the port is configured for RS-485 mode:

-

RX LEDs (yellow) are lit while receiving 

-

TX LEDs (green) are lit during active data transmission

Network and Device LEDs

The LEDs indicate that the default DeviceMaster application, SocketServer is running or after driver 
installation, that the NS-Link driver loads. If you have loaded PortVision DX, you can check the DeviceMaster 
status on-line.

The 

Status

 LED

 

on the front of the unit is lit, which indicates that it has 

power and has completed the boot cycle.

Note:

The 

Status

 LED flashes while booting and it takes approximately 15 

seconds for the Bootloader to complete the cycle.

 

When the Bootloader 

completes the cycle, the LED has a solid, steady light that blinks 
approximately every 10 seconds

.

•

The  red 

Link Act

 LED is lit, which indicates a working Ethernet connection.

•

If the red 

Duplex

 LED is lit, it indicates full-duplex activity.

•

If the red 

100

 LED is lit, it indicates a working 100 MB Ethernet connection 

(100 MB network, only).
