LED status
The following table describes the LED status on the 40G capture adapter.
LED
State and Color
Condition
System LED
Off
The power is off.
 
Constant red
During start-up: Power is on. The adapter is checking the power supplies.
 
Flashing red
After start-up: The power is on. There is a fatal hardware error.
 
Constant yellow
During start-up: The power is on. The power supplies are working.
 
Flashing yellow
There is a new entry in the hardware log.
 
Constant green
The FPGA is loaded, and the system is running.
Activity LEDs
Off
The driver is not loaded, the Ethernet link is down or the port is disconnected.
 
Constant Green
The driver is loaded and the Ethernet link is up, but there is no RX or TX traffic.
 
Flashing Green
The driver is loaded and there is RX or TX traffic on the Ethernet link
External Time Synchronization LED
Off
No driver is loaded, or no valid PPS or NT-TS signal is detected or generated.
 
Constant Yellow
The Ethernet link on the external RJ45 time synchronization connector is up.
 
Flashing green synchronous with the PPS or NT-TS pulse
The Ethernet link on the externalRJ45 time synchronization connector is down, and the following condition is fulfilled: When the external SMA time synchronization connector is configured as a:
• PPS or NT-TS input connector: A driver is loaded, and a valid PPS or NT-TS signal as relevant is detected.
• PPS or NT-TS output connector: A driver is loaded, and a PPS or NT-TS signal is generated.
 
Yellow with flashing green synchronous with the PPS or NT-TS pulse
The Ethernet link on the externalRJ45 time synchronization connector is down, and the following condition is fulfilled: When the external SMA time synchronization connector is configured as a:
• PPS or NT-TS input connector: A driver is loaded, and a valid PPS or NT-TS signal as relevant is detected.
• PPS or NT-TS output connector: A driver is loaded, and a PPS or NT-TS signal is generated.
