LED Indicators
The Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway has five functional LEDs: three on
the top of the unit and two on the back panel. The LEDs on the top panel
perform the following functions:
❑ The Status LED, which is located on the right side when the unit
is orientated so that you can read the Symphony logo, changes
colors from yellow (initializing) to green (operational). If the
LED turns red, try recycling power to the Cordless Gateway. If the
LED remains red, contact Symphony Technical Support for
assistance.
❑ The Cordless Network Activity LED, in the center, blinks yellow
when the Cordless Gateway receives data from the cordless
network.
❑ The Ethernet LED, on the left side, blinks green when the Ether-
net Bridge receives data over the 10BaseT Ethernet connection.
The LEDs on the back panel perform the following functions:
❑ The green “Link” LED, located to the right of the 10BaseT
connector, illuminates when a physical connection exists between
the Cordless Gateway and an attached Ethernet-ready device.
However, this LED reflects Ethernet activity as well as link
integrity. Therefore, when a proper 10BaseT cable is attached and
there is Ethernet activity, the LED will blink off momentarily;
when a damaged or improper 10BaseT cable is attached and the
unit attempts to send data through its Ethernet port, the LED will
blink on momentarily.
❑ The green “Master” LED, located to the left of the DC power jack,
illuminates when the Cordless Gateway is operational
