LED Descriptions
The top panel contains the following LEDs:
Power LED—The Power LED indicates that DC power is present.
Link LED—The Link LED indicated that it is registered on the network.
Signal LEDs—Three signal LEDs can display the signal strength level of the wireless connection.
LED Indicators
POWER Indicates presence of DC power when lit.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
LINK
SIGNAL These LEDs display the strength of the cellular signal.
Off : No power to unit.
On: Continuously lit Powered on.
Slow blink (-0.2Hz): Registered on network.
Note: The three PROGAMMABLE SIGNAL LEDs can be controlled as follows:
GPIO2: Controls the LED with a single bar above it.
GPIO3: Controls the LED with two bars above it.
GPIO4: Controls the LED with three bars above it.
For more information on using GPIO to control the LEDs, refer to the AT Command Guide.
