Utilization Alarm LEDs

Four LEDs indicate that utilization levels have exceeded the threshold. Each LED

is the alarm for one port. For Network Ports, utilization is monitored on incoming

traffic; for Monitor Ports, the outgoing traffic is monitored. When a Utilization

Alarm LED is illuminated, it indicates that the threshold level was exceeded for that

port since the last reset. The LEDs remain illuminated until they are reset using the

reset button or remote interfaces.

Link LEDs

Four LEDs indicate link status. If a good link is established on a port, the LED

corresponding to that port illuminates. The Link LED blinks when traffic is passing

through the port; the intensity of the blinking increases with the utilization; it

becomes noticeable for utilizations of about 30 percent or greater.

Mode LEDs

If the device is in Tap mode, the TAP LED illuminates. If the device is in Aggrega-

tion mode, the AGG LED illuminates. (If both mode LEDs are illuminated or both

are off, check that the Mode bits are set to the same value for both Monitor Ports.)

Power LEDs

If the iTap Port Aggregator is deployed with both power supplies, both power

LEDs illuminate when connected to power. If a power LED is off, the correspond-

ing power supply is disconnected or not functioning.

Reset Button

Press the Reset button to reset the traffic peaks and times on the display, and the

Utilization Alarm LEDs. To prevent accidental resets, the Reset button is recessed

into the front panel. To push the Reset button, use a thin, rigid tool such as a paperclip.

The traffic peak and time can also be reset using the CLI or remote interfaces.
