PinPoint-E EDGE/GPRS - User Guide, version 2.32 56
Hardware Installation
When your PinPoint-E is connected to power and an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights
to indicate its operation mode.
FIGURE 2. PinPoint-E indicator lights
Tx (transmit) and Rx (receive) - Lights will flash as data is transferred to and from the PinPoint-E
on the remote network.
RSSI(signal level) - Light shows the strength of the signal and may be nearly solid (strong signal)
or flashing (weaker signal). A slow flash indicates a very weak signal.
Reg (registation) - Indicates the PinPoint-E has acquired an IP from Your Wireless Service Pro-
vider.
Chan (channel) - Indicates the modem has acquired a network channel.
Link - Indicates a successful connection to the cellular network.
GPS - Indicates a GPS fix. When lit, the PinPoint-E has GPS coordinates to report.
Pwr (power) - Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power getting to the modem.
The Reset button performs the same function as unplugging power from the modem and plugging
it back in. Reset will not alter any saved configuration settings.
Light Patterns
The LEDs on the front of the modem will respond in different patterns to indicate modem states.
• Normal - Each LED, mentioned above, lit as applicable.
• Start up - The LEDs will cycle from left to right.
• Low Power - All LEDs will be off except the power LED which will blink every 3 seconds.
• Passthru - The Chan, Reg, and Link LEDs will blink in tandem. The TxRx LED will blink
when transmitting or receiving data.
• SOS - The Chan and Err or Serv LEDs will blink alternate to each other.
