Monitoring the AastraLink Status LED
The LED on the front of the AastraLink Pro 160 indicates the current status of the 
device. The current LED state also displays on the bottom left of the status bar 
each time a WebUI page is refreshed. The table below describes the LED 
variations. 
LED Color
Meaning
Off
Power is off.
Steady Green
The AastraLink Pro 160 has successfully completed internal hardware 
diagnostic tests and is starting up. 
Alternating Green/Red
The AastraLink Pro 160 is updating its onboard firmware, either because it is 
the first time you started up the device, or you just uploaded a new firmware 
image. 
Warning: Do not interrupt power during the system update, as system 
corruption can result.
Flashing Green
The AastraLink Pro 160 has successfully booted and is up and running, ready 
to process calls. 
Alternating Green/Red/Off
The AastraLink Pro 160 is running in recovery mode. This sequence occurs if 
the last boot attempt failed. 
Try rebooting. If the problem persists, use the recovery procedure described in
“Reinstalling System Software Using Recovery Mode”
on
Flashing Red
The AastraLink Pro 160 is running in a degraded state:
•
Flash speed: Slow
(approximately once per second) indicates that the
AastraLink is running normally but that a full-duplex network connection 
could not be negotiated. This may limit the system capacity and/or cause 
problems with collisions or integrity of the network connection, leading to 
problems such as WebUI time-outs and garbled voice-path. Recommend 
connecting the AastraLink to a full-duplex Ethernet device, such as a 
router or switch, rather than a half-duplex device such as a hub. 
•
Flash speed: Fast (approximately 5 times per second) indicates a system 
error occurred during startup; the AastraLink software was unable to 
initialize correctly. Contact Aastra support for assistance with diagnosing 
the problem.
