Description:

The power LED on the LANCOM router flashes. What exactly is the problem?


Prerequisite:



Explanation:

A power LED may flash for a number of reasons:

  • 1) The preset

time or charge limit was reached

  • , after which the router no longer allows any outgoing connections.



  • 2) The router has not been assigned

a password

  • (security feature).



  • 3) There was an

hardware error

  • . This is the case when the device freezes with a flashing red power LED while booting.



Solution:

For 1):
You can set the number of charge units and the time limit available to the router in LANconfig under Configuration -> Management -> Costs.

Set these entries to 0 if you wish to switch this monitoring off, or select a relevant value.




For 2):
In the interest of security, specify a password for the router under Configuration -> Management -> Admin.
