Using Beaconing
The beaconing capability enables you to force a specific adapter’s LEDs to blink in a
particular sequence. The blinking pattern acts as a beacon, making it easier to locate a
specific adapter among racks of other adapters. (Not available in read-only mode.)
When you enable beaconing for LightPulse adapters, the two LEDs blink rapidly in
unison for 24 seconds, after which the LEDs report the adapter health status for 8
seconds. When the 8 seconds are up, the adapter returns to beaconing mode. This cycle
repeats indefinitely until you disable beaconing or you reset the adapter.
When you enable beaconing for OneConnect adapters, the two LEDs blink rapidly in
unison until you disable beaconing.
Note: The beaconing buttons are disabled if the selected adapter does not support
beaconing.
To enable or disable beaconing:
1. From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port whose LEDs you want to set.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab and click Beacon On or Beacon Off.
