S8300 Media Server LEDs

S8300 Media Server LEDs

The S8300 Media Server has a total of 6 LEDs on the faceplate. There are three traditional LEDs as shown in Table 101, and three additional LEDs:

A fourth LED labeled "OK-to-Remove" indicates when the S8300's disk is properly "parked" and ready to shutdown
Fifth and sixth LEDs located on the lower left and right sides, respectively, of the Services port indicate whether or not data is being sent over the RJ45 jack, and the data rate.

GREEN "OK-to-Remove" LED

When removing the S8300, initiate a shutdown process by first depressing the button (for 2 seconds) located next to the fourth GREEN "Ok-to-Remove" LED (specific to the S8300). The GREEN LED will first blink; then go steady. Once steady, the GREEN LED indicates that the disk drive has been parked properly and is ready to be removed. Follow standard Media Module removal procedures after the GREEN LED indicates that the disk drive has been properly parked.

The S8300 has a hard drive that must be shut down prior to removal. There are three different ways that you can properly shut down this module before it is removed:

Press the A-button on the faceplace (must be held for 4 seconds) to initiate shutdown of the on-board hard drive.

You can also initiate shutdown via software with a computer connected either:

Remotely
Locally, connected directly to the S8300 via an RJ45 jack located on the faceplate of the S8300

GREEN or YELLOW Services Port LEDs

One LED is located on the lower left side of the Services port. It indicates the data rate of the connection.

When GREEN, this LED indicates a 10MB connection.

When YELLOW, this LED indicates a 100MB connection.

A second LED is located on the lower right side of the Services port. It indicates whether or not data is being sent over the RJ45 jack. This LED serves as a Visual Status of the Services' Ethernet interface (TX/RX). It is separate from the LED panel on the G700, and is provided in the event that the G700 is otherwise non-functional.

S8300 LED Differences from other MMs

Some specific behaviors of the traditional S8300 LEDs differ from the Media Modules because the S8300 processes calls.

Situations like "insanity" and IP concepts of "registered" via H.248 do not necessarily apply to other Media Modules.
The RED LED provides a major alarm indication. Software turns off the RED LED during system startup. After startup, software turns on the RED LED whenever a major alarm is present, and turns off the RED LED whenever a major alarm clears.
Since the S8300 will see a major alarm whenever a Media Gateway becomes unregistered, this means the RED LED will turn on. If the Media Gateway subsequently becomes registered, the major alarm clears, and the RED LED turns off.

Note: For a G700 configured as an LSP, the converse is true. If a Media Gateway registers with an LSP, a major alarm is generated, and the RED LED turns on. When the Media Gateway unregisters, the RED LED turns off.

The RED LED can also be turned on by software to report an application or other error. The RED LED can also be turned on by a hardware watchdog that has not been cleared for at least 10ms, when the processing complex has ceased to function (dead or hung).

The GREEN LED provides self-testing and maintenance indication.
The YELLOW LED provides active "in use" indication. For an S8300, the software turns on the YELLOW LED during system startup, and turns off the LED during shutdown. In between startup and shutdown, the YELLOW LED remains ON independent of H.248 registration. By definition, the S8300 is always "in use".

Table 102 through Table 106 illustrate the states of S8300 LEDs.

S8300 LED Lighting Sequence

In general, S8300 LEDs light in order from top to bottom, then from left to right on the S8300 faceplate.

The following order applies during restart or boot of the S8300:

LED Lighting Sequence

ALM - RED: lights up first then turns off
TST - GREEN: lights up second then turns off
ACT - YELLOW: lights up third then turns off
OK To REMOVE - GREEN: lights up fourth then turns off
LEFT LED in SERVICES jack - GREEN (100 MB link speed): lights up fifth then turns off
LEFT LED in SERVICES jack - YELLOW (10 MB link speed): lights up sixth then turns off
RIGHT LED in SERVICES jack - GREEN: lights up seventh then turns off
