input.
•
A solid red power LED indicates extreme action is requested; caution is urged.
•
A solid status LED (any color) indicates level of reset action:
— Level 1 is yellow
— Level 2 is red
•
A blinking status LED indicates an interim state; trying to establish user request.
•
A solid status LED indicates confirmation of a user selection (power LED has priority).

The router configuration of a BCM50a or BCM50e is not affected by a Level 1 reset. To perform a
soft reset on the router, use Element Manager.
