Front Panel Indicators

• Primary PSU (A): Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present.
• Secondary PSU (B): Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present.
• Primary Network: Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in Switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate.
• Secondary Network: Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on secondary port when in redundant mode. Not used in switched mode.
