Interpreting the Reader Indicator LEDs

There are four LEDs on the reader indicating reader activity:

 

Power

 – When solid, the reader is booting. When pulsing, reader is ready for 

operation.

 

Module A

 – Operational only on older model Mercury4 readers.

 

Module B

 – Flashes continuously when RF is transmitting on any antenna.

 

Fault/Error

 – When solid red, the reader has crashed.

 

Two LEDs on top of the reader, labeled 

Status

 and 

Activity

, are not currently 

operational. See the figure.

 

Two small LEDs adjacent to the Ethernet port indicate Status (left) and Activity (right) 

when connected to a PC or network plug. See the figure.
