describes the status indicator lights.

settings in the input’s Configure IP Receive menu.
The Receive Enable/Disable field is used to make the input active or inactive. When enabled or
active the SMD 989 begins to monitor the input status with the alarms and logging. By default
most input ports are disabled, but by clicking on the settings tab for an IP input and selecting
enable the port is moved into the Enabled list. This allows for customizing the view of the inputs in
the home menu. The input can be returned to the disabled status by disabling the input.
