Chapter 4 - LED Patterns 

Some of the LEDs on the front of the VSR multigigabit switching router serve dual functions.  
In addition to indicating certain router-wide operating conditions, they may also display port-
specific information.

Note

: Any continuous flashing pattern not noted in this chapter may be caused by a hard-

ware failure.  Please call Compatible Systems Technical Support if your router shows a hard-
ware failure.

Router LED Patterns

The following LEDs and light patterns provide information about the VSR’s physical state and 
operating conditions.

Over Temp

The router is above the proper operating temperature.  The filter needs changing.  See the 
appropriate VSR chassis section of the manual for instructions.

Sys Ready

The router booted properly without detecting any failures.

General Indicators 

Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP LED Patterns

The following LEDs and light patterns provide information about the Octal V.35-10/100 RIOP 
interfaces.

Ethernet Traffic Indicators 

Scan from 1 to 3:  Ethernet transmit packet

Scan from 5 to 3:  Ethernet receive packet

V.35 Traffic Indicators 

TX:  WAN transmit packet

RX:  WAN receive packet

Ethernet Connection Indicators

Link: The Link light indicates that there is a good connection to the hub. 

Activity: The Activity light indicates that there is activity across the link. 

100: The 100 light indicates that the interface is operating at 100 Mbps.
