Front-Panel LED Port Indicators
The color and flash speed of each port’s LED, as described in Table 5-2, indicates the
individual port’s status.
Initialization Steps
At power-on or reset, the following steps are executed:
1.
Preliminary POST diagnostics.
2.
VxWorks operating system initialization.
3.
Hardware initialization (resets, internal addresses assigned to G_Port and FL_Port
ASICs, serial port initialized, front panel initialized).
4.
Full POST.
5.
Universal port configuration.
6.
Link initialization; receiver/transmitter negotiation to bring connected ports online.
Table 5-1.
