Description 4.2 LED display Color Meaning Green Power supply over a power supply adapter or the 48 V DC energy contacts of devices with a port for FO cable. Green Power over Ethernet or power over the 48 V DC energy contacts of devices with an RJ-45 port.
Page 15
Description 4.2 LED display Color Meaning Access Point Mode: Green flashing quickly With 802.11h, the channel is scanned for one minute for primary users before the channel can be used for data traffic. Client Mode: The LED is always off because the 2nd port is not available in client mode.
Page 16
Description 4.2 LED display Note If the LED for the WLAN port is not green when the device starts up, although it is activated, the port is not ready for operation (interface not initialized). The main reason for this is usually that during commissioning of the SCALANCE W78x products, a waiting time of up to 15 minutes can occur when the ambient temperature is below zero.
