PonE Status LED
Both the Outdoor and Indoor rated PonE units have a green status LED (see Figure 5-3) which indicates
the status of the power-up cycle. When power is applied to the PonE adapter, prior to it attempting to
apply power to the Horizon Compact Plus, the PonE management system checks for under/over-voltage
and open or short circuit conditions. If any such condition exists, then the PonE adapter will not apply
power to the Horizon Compact Plus. The status LED signals the condition of the PonE system if this
should occur (see Table 5-1). If the fault condition clears, the system will then attempt to provide power to
the Horizon Compact Plus unit, but the LED will continue to indicate that a current/voltage problem had
occurred (Alarm history). The LED may be reset by pressing the Alarm Reset button or recycling the
power feed to the PonE adapter. See Figure 5-3 for the locations of the LED and Alarm Reset Button.
Incorrectly wired CAT5E cables can cause open or short circuit conditions, so this feature protects the
Horizon Compact Plus from incorrectly applied power. The PonE power unit will also shut-down when the
Horizon Compact Plus is disconnected from the PonE adapter (NTWK to Horizon port cable
disconnected).
