LED state Description
Blinking

(1 Hz, 3 s)

The indicator turns on and off for 3 seconds with a frequency of 1 Hz:

"on" for 500 ms, followed by "off" for 500 ms.

Blinking

(1 Hz)

The indicator turns on and off with a frequency of 1 Hz:

"on" for 500 ms, followed by "off" for 500 ms.

Blinking

(2 Hz)

The indicator turns on and off with a frequency of 2 Hz:

"on" for 250 ms, followed by "off" for 250 ms.

Flickering

(load dependent)

The indicator turns on and off with a frequency of approximately 10 Hz to indicate high Ethernet activity: "on" for approximately 50 ms, followed by "off" for 50 ms.

The indicator turns on and off at irregular intervals to indicate low Ethernet activity.
