S8300 Media Server LEDs

Figure 22. S8300 Media Server

The S8300 Media Server has a total of 6 LEDs on the faceplate (Figure 22), the three standard LEDs and three additional LEDs:

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

GREEN "OK-to-Remove" LED

The S8300 has a hard drive that must be shut down prior to removal of the S8300. Initiate a shutdown process by first depressing the shutdown button located next to the fourth GREEN "Ok-to-Remove" LED for 2-4 seconds (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 shut down properly and the S8300 is ready to be removed. Follow standard Media Module removal procedures after the GREEN LED indicates that the disk drive has been properly parked.

There are three different ways that you can properly shut down the S8300 before it is removed:

• Press the shutdown button on the faceplate for 2-4 seconds.
• Initiate shutdown via the Web interface with a computer connected either:
• Remotely, on the customer's LAN
• Locally, on the S8300 using the Services Port 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, located on the lower right side of the Services port, 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).

S8300 LED Differences from Media Modules

Certain behaviors of the traditional S8300 LEDs differ from the Media Modules because the S8300 is a Media Server running Communication Manager.

• 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 sees a major alarm whenever a G700 Media Gateway becomes unregistered, this means the RED LED turns on. If the Media Gateway subsequently becomes registered, the major alarm clears, and the RED LED turns off.

Note: For an S8300 configured as an LSP, the converse is true. If a G700 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 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.

• 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. During normal call processing operation, the YELLOW LED turns on whenever a G700 Media Gateway, an IP station, or an IP console is registered with the S8300. Likewise, it turns off when none of the IP endpoints are registered.

Table 193 through Table 197 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

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