Status
The next top level Menu item, “Status”, displays details from the built in test circuits. This example
shows a Fault reported. The Red FLT lamp will be lit at all times when any fault is detected. If the
problem is a power supply, the PS LED will be lit. Switches with redundant power supplies will
have two L

While in these menus, the screen is not updated dynamically. Changes to any fault status
information are displayed once for that screen. To see the effect of changes, you must navigate
out of that screen and re-enter to refresh the screen data.
