•The PWR/SYS LED turns green if the power is on.

•The LAN 1, 2, 3 or 4 and WAN LEDs turn on when the corre-
sponding ports are properly connected, and blink when there
is traffic.

V If one of the LEDs does not behave as

expected, check the connection. Make sure the
device to which the corresponding port is
connected is turned on and working normally. If
this does not help, turn the ES-315 off and on
again.
