Table 11 describes these LEDs; Figure 2 shows their location. Table 11. ENET LEDs LED Description PWR/RDY Flashes rapidly at start-up while performing self tests and when acquiring network parameters. A steady yellow state indicates the box is ready for operation. A slow flashing pattern indicates an error occurred. LINK 10/100 Indicates the serial ENET interface detected a twisted pair (10Base-T or 100Base-TX) link. The color indicates the connection speed. If yellow, the speed is 10 Mbits/s. If green, the speed is 100 Mbits/s. TX Indicates the serial ENET interface is transmitting to the Ethernet network. RX Indicates the serial ENET interface is receiving Ethernet network traffic. PORT x Indicates which serial ports are open. Figure 2. Four-Port Serial ENET Hardware LEDs ENET to RS-232 NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS 2 1 1 Power/Ready LED 2 Ethernet LEDs 3 3 4 Serial Port LEDs 4 Power Switch ENET PWR/RDY LED Signaling This section describes how to interpret the PWR/RDY LED error codes. The PWR/RDY LED has several purposes on the serial ENETs. When you first power on the unit, the PWR/RDY LED alternates rapidly between red and yellow while it completes its power-on self-tests and acquires network parameters. When the tests complete successfully and the IP address is assigned from either nonvolatile memory or the network, the PWR/RDY LED remains steady yellow, indicating that the unit is ready to operate. NI Serial Hardware Specifications and Features Guide | © National Instruments | 11 The PWR/RDY LED also alternates rapidly between red and yellow while the device is in network configuration mode. At other times, the PWR/RDY LED blinks slowly in a recognizable pattern to alert you of internal errors. Use the following steps to interpret and record the pattern that the PWR/RDY LED flashes, and then contact National Instruments. By recording the PWR/RDY LED error messages before calling National Instruments, you can save yourself time, and customer support can answer your questions more accurately and efficiently. Do not switch off power to your serial ENET before recording the flashing PWR/RDY LED pattern. Note PWR/RDY LED signaling can report up to 81 different errors. The errors are numbered from 11 to 99 and are reported through sequences of PWR/RDY LED flashes. There is no zero in any error message. This means that error message numbers 0-10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 are not possible. Note Step 1. Count the Long Flashes A three-second interval, during which the PWR/RDY LED is yellow, separates each repetition of the sequence. The sequence begins with a series of long one-second flashes—that is, one second red, one second yellow. These long flashes represent the digit in the tens column. There can be one to nine long flashes, which represent digits 1 through 9. For example, one long flash represents the digit 1 in the tens column, and nine long flashes represent the digit 9 in the tens column. Step 2. Count the Short Flashes The long flashes are followed by shorter flashes; each short flash lasts about one-fifth of a second—that is, one-fifth of a second red, one-fifth of a second yellow. These short flashes represent the digit in the ones column. Again, there can be one to nine flashes, which represent the digits 1 through 9. For example, one short flash represents the digit 1 in the ones column, and nine short flashes represent the digit 9 in the ones column. Using this method, the PWR/RDY LED flashes the following sequence to represent error message 11: <three seconds yellow> <one long red flash> <one short red flash> <three seconds yellow>... The PWR/RDY LED flashes the following sequence to represent error message 31: <three seconds yellow> <three long red flashes> <one short red flash> <three seconds yellow>... Step 3. Record Your Error Message Number When you have computed your error message number, write it down and also note the ON/OFF state of the LINK, TX, and RX LEDs. Have this information available when calling National Instruments. 12 | ni.com | NI Serial Hardware Specifications and Features Guide Connectors and Pinouts DB-9 Male Figure 3.
