Front Power LED is Blinking Steadily (1 Blink Per Second)
This section will provide solutions in a situation where a Venue Scan will fail while the
front power LED on the LE server is blinking once per second.
By default, the Listen EVERYWHERE server is designed to acquire an IP address
automatically from a DHCP server. This is typically the router. While acquiring the IP
address from the network, the user will see the power LED blink once per second for
roughly 30 seconds. If the blinking pattern persists beyond that,
an IP address isn’t
properly being assigned to the server or the internal components are not functioning
properly.
•
Verify that a DHCP server / router is properly setup and installed. Follow the
steps provided by the manufacturer of the networking hardware to set up and
prepare the network for use. Sometimes, these devices may fail over time.
Performing a factory reset on the networking equipment and following the
setup procedures may resolve the issue.
•
Check the network cable and Ethernet port. The network cable may be faulty,
disconnected, or connected into the wrong Ethernet port on the network switch
or router. The Ethernet LAN port may also be faulty, disabled, or configured
incorrectly.
•
Check the Power supply. A faulty or incorrect power supply will cause internal
components of the Listen EVERYWHERE server to function incorrectly. The LE
server uses a 5V / 6.0A / 30W power supply.
Front Power LED is Blinking Rapidly (2 Blinks Per Second)
This section will provide solutions in a situation where a Venue Scan will fail while the
front power LED on the LE server is blinking twice per second.
•
Verify that the network settings placed on the Listen EVERYWHERE server are
correct. Network settings can be adjusted on the LE server through the
interface. Some errors, such as IP address conflicts on the network, will
occur after the configuration is saved and the server is rebooted. When errors
like this are encountered, the front panel LED status will flash in panic mode (2
blinks per second) indicating the server has an improper network configuration
and cannot communicate on the network. When this happens, the server will
revert to a known working DHCP configuration after 5 minutes.
