Power LED

 

Lights continuously when the ServSensor EXP DC16 is powered on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the LED is flashing, there is a problem with the CPU.

2

 

Link LED

 

Lights when a network connection is present.

3

 

RJ-45 ports

Expansion In/Expansion Out ports. These ports are named E-in and

 

 

 

 

 

 

E-out. The E-in port connects to your ServSensor V4E base unit via a

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAT5e straight-through cable. The E-out port is used to daisychain

 

 

 

 

 

 

additional expansion modules via a CAT5e straight-through cable.

Status/Online LEDs 1–16

LEDs numbered 1–16 indicate the connectivity status of the sensors

 

 

 

 

 

 

connected to each port. These LEDs also indicate system status

 

 

 

 

 

 

during various operations.

Description

 

Upgrade in progress

 

 

 

The red LEDs will move from left to right to indicate activity, and the green LEDs indicate

 

 

 

 

 

overall progress of the upgrade. When all the red lights are off and all the green lights are

 

 

 

 

 

on, the upgrade/recovery process is complete.

Unit is operating in safe mode

Used when the ServSensor EXP DC16 loads the operating system (OS) with a minimal set

 

 

 

 

 

of drivers. If your device enters safe mode after rebooting, contact Black Box Technical
