Status LED
The CORSIGHT cameras are equipped with a set of status LED's. The positions of the LED's on camera's side is shown on the figure below. The purpose of the individual LED's (starting from connector side) is:
WLAN activity (blue)
User LED (green, software programmable)
Ethernet speed (green, still for 1GB, blinking for 100Mb Ethernet)
Ethernet link (orange)
Power (green)
SATA activity (orange)
