Red indicates no connection, green indicates a successful connection. For example, if you have connected the DARK8ADI to two separate PSUs, only one of which works then you will have a red ‘Fault’ LED illuminate to warn you that there is no power detected on the connection that is not receiving mains power. - Page 10 They accept standard SFP modules. The status LEDs flash to show when data is being correctly communicated with the attached switch. If you require SFP modules then please email sales@glensound.co.uk for a quotation.
