Appendix

A. POST procedure

After the power has been turned on, Video Server will perform a self-diagnostic to locate any

possible hardware defects. If the power indicator is dim at the beginning, the power fails to

proceed further. While the POST is proceeding, the status LED indicators will keep blinking

interchanged until finished or any fatal error happens. If either status LED indicator is dim at the

beginning, the LED may be broken.

Any possible fatal error has a special pattern shown in the following table. LED2 is the one

below the network indicator and LED3 is the lowest one. If the POST is successful, status LED

indicators will both shut off for a while and then light depending on the chosen network interface.

If Ethernet is available, LED2 will flash like a heartbeat after network installation is done.

Otherwise if modem is available, LED2 will flash alike to indicate listening for dial-in connection

while LED3 is lit. If the included null modem cable is connected, both LEDs will stay on and then

LED2 will start flashing after the connection from the PC is opened for configuration and LED3

stays lit.
