Front Panel
•Used to power the Controller On and Off. The I/O power
switch on the back of Controller must be On (I) to enable
the Controller.
•Green indicates the system has adequate power and is
operating normally.
•Red indicates the system is in stand-by mode. In standby
most of the Controller circuitry is powered down.
•Off indicates that the system is getting no power.
•Green indicates the Host has established
communications with the embedded system.
•Green flashing indicates the embedded system is ready
(running with DHCP IP address), but the Host has not
established communications with the embedded system.
•Off indicates the embedded processor is resetting or is
powered up; and is booting the embedded firmware.
•Red indicates the Host has determined the firmware
needs to be updated, but a problem occurred during the
process that will initiate a reset.
•Red flashing indicates the embedded firmware is
running, but has not received a DHCP IP Address.
•Amber indicates the Host is currently updating the
embedded firmware.
•Amber flashing indicates the embedded system has a
valid link-local IP Address and is waiting to connect to the
Host.
•Over Temperature or Hardware Failure
If the Controller over heats or has a hardware failure, the
Status LED indication will be interrupted every 3-seconds
with a solid red indication. For example, if the LED is
flashing green when an over temperature or hardware
failure occurs, the LED, in 3-second intervals, will flash
green, solid red, etc.
•Green indicates RS-232 serial port data activity.
•Off indicates no RS-232 serial port activity.
•Green indicates GPIO port signal activity.
•Off indicates no GPIO port activity.
•Green indicates IR port signal activity.
•Off indicates no IR port activity.
•Green indicates Relay port signal activity.
•Off indicates no Relay port activity.
Press the I/O switch on the back of Controller to
power the Controller to the On state.

Important
If you are using RJ-45 to DB-9 adapters not supplied by Savant be sure to terminate any wires
required for communication/control within the adapter. Cut all unused wires to prevent the
wires from shorting against each other. Ensure that all wires required for
communication/control are not terminated in the connecter. Also, ensure that these unused
wires are not shorting to each other, as they are still terminated in the RJ-45 connector on the
controller side.
