LED Functions RunNode OffSys ErrLonSvcConf ErrCom ErrRxTxService PinThe LonWorks Service pin can be used for commissioning the SlotServer into a LonWorks network. LonWorks Activity can be determined using this LED as follows: LON LED Activity Explicit Implicit –Not Commissioned Implicit – Commissioned Off Flashing Off Figure 3: Diagram of SlotServer showing ports and displays LED Description Run When the SlotServer is powered up, this light will start flashing after approximately 2 minutes. If this light does not flash, it is an indication that the firmware is not running, and that the SlotServer will not be operating. LonSvc This LED indicates LonWorks activity. Refer to Figure 3. NodeOff This light indicates that a device bound to the SlotServer on the LonWorks network is not communicating. Use the LonWorks Network Manager to troubleshoot the problem. Conf Err This light indicates an error in the configuration of the card. Since this model is shipped pre-configured, this light should never come on unless the card configuration is tampered with Sys Err This light indicates that an unexpected operation state occurred. The light can be reset by cycling power to the card.

The Tx (Transmit) light will flash red if the FieldServer is sending data. (Note that due to the nature of 2-wire RS-485 the Rx light will flash every time the Tx light flashes too). The frequency of the flashing is directly related to the frequency of data transfer. Ethernet Lights 10/100 Act These lights are related to the Ethernet network ports provided on the SlotServer. The 10/100 light will be green if the physical connection to the network hub is running at 100 MBits/s. If the light is off, the connection is running at 10 MBits/s. The Act (Activity) light will indicate activity on the network. The frequency of flashing is directly related to the ...
