Determining the Operating Status
Status lights
The status lights in the upper portion of the control module indicate the status of the
Ethernet interface. The status lights at the bottom of the control module indicate the
status of the control module and the trunk modules.
Note
The upper portion of the control module is on the left side, and the lower
portion of the control module is on the right side, when the control module is
installed in the MS+ chassis.

The control module has detected a major
alarm. For information about configuring
major alarms, see the
Stinger Administration
Guide
.
The MAJOR status light turns ON at startup. It
then starts blinking slowly while the control
module runs its POST in the boot loader. It
continues to blink while the control module
loads its operational code from the PCMCIA
flash card. If the control module successfully
loads its operational image from the PCMCIA
flash card and again passes POST, the MAJOR
status light turns OFF. If the MAJOR status light
continues to blink, it indicates a failure.
MINOR
Amber
ON or
blinking
The control module has detected a minor
alarm. For information about configuring
minor alarms, see the
Stinger Administration
Guide
.
The MINOR status light is ON at startup. It
remains ON until the control module passes all
POST tests. It then stays OFF until a minor
alarm occurs.
If the control module fails POST, the MINOR
status light remains ON.
