Fail-through Switch (Security Level)

139

During normal processing, the Inline (green) LED on the front panel
indicates whether e-Commerce traffic will pass through in the event
of a failure (depending on Fail-through switch state). Steady green or
blinking green both mean that the SA7100/SA7120 is processing
traffic; blinking green indicates traffic will be blocked if the SA7100/
SA7120 fails (Fail-safe mode), and steady green indicates traffic will
continue (unprocessed) in the event of a failure (Fail-through mode).
When the Inline LED is off, no SSL processing is taking place, which
means either no traffic is passing through (Fail-safe), or the traffic
that is passing through is unprocessed (Fail-through).

the Fail-through switch and Bypass button:
