Powering a CAP L
TheCAPLPower-Downbuttonisusedonlytopowerdowntheunit.Undernormaloperatingconditions,the
PowerLEDrespondsaslistedbelow.
• IftheCAPLispoweredbyalocalpowersupply,theCAPLunitisalwayspoweredon.
• IftheCAPLispoweredoveradatacable(Cat6Aorfiber),theCAPLisautomaticallydetectedbythe
WCS/TENandthelink(power)comesup.
• IftheCAPLispoweredoverCATcablingorthehead-endDC(hybridfiber)supplyisused,theCAPLis
automaticallydetectedandpoweredwhenitisconnectedtotheWCS/TEN.
Inanycase,thePowerLEDturnsonbrieflywhentheunitisfirstdetected.Itwillthengooutbriefly,followed
byaninitializationperiodduringwhichthePowerLEDflashesslowlywhiletheCAP
Lisconfigured.TheLED
willremainasteadyblue(notflashing)oncetheunitreachesafullyoperationalstate,whichtypicallyoccurs
within45seconds,butitcanvarydramaticallyindifferentsystemsandconfigurations,especiallyifit's
auto-updating.
