Description of LED indicators

WPX POE v2 panel.png
4 LEDs Left side
L1. Device status
  • Green blinking 2s - device ready, OK
  • Orange still - just init (about 1s)
  • Red blinking - overtemperature (> 55˚C) warning
  • Red still - fatal error, power cycle the device. If this LED is still red, contact Advacam technical support.
L2. Error code LED
  • Green blinking according to the error (it does not prevent functionality of the device)
  • In this case, Technical Support will ask the customer to make 10s video
L3. Reserved for internal purpose
  • Violet still - the device restarted itself (it is not a problem at the device starting, but if this occurs during measurement, it will probably stop working)
L4. Power supply for the row segment
  • Orange still - power on (when pixet is running)
  • The LED stays on even when Pixet crashes!
4 LEDs Right side
R1. FPGA
  • Orange still - shutter is open
  • Orange changes to Red during init
  • It is used also during IP reset procedure (described below)
R2. Device power
  • Blue still - power on
  • Blue blinks shortly during init
  • Blue still and green blinking (result is blue-turquoise) - communication with Pixet during FW revert procedure (described below)
R3+R4. Eth link (R3 green, R4 red)
  • None - no connection
  • Only green blinking - 1 Gbit/s, ok
  • Only red blinking - lower speed
  • Both red and green blinking - lower speed
  • Both red and green blinking shortly during init
  • Both red and green still - connected to switch, but without access to network

  • Connect the device to power.
  • After the device init (R1 is Orange, changes to Red and turns off), attach the magnet to magnetic sensor. When the magnetic field is recognized, R1 turns Blue.
  • When the change mode is enabled, R1 changes to one of the colors indicating the actual settings (listed below).
  • Use magnet for select the preferred settings. There are 3 possibilities of the R1 color for different IP configurations:
    • Red = Auto IP
    • Green = DHCP
    • Yellow = Static IP (192.168.1.100)
  • Wait for several seconds. R1 blinks several times and turns off. Now the setting is saved.
