Control Panel Button Diagnostics

When power is first connected to a Videohub control panel, all the buttons will display their test
lights in the following sequence: red, green, blue and white. The top left button of a Videohub
control panel indicates its network status, using the following diagnostic display:
Pink flashing light
Unit is attempting to acquire an IP address. The button should quickly become red if the
unit is set to use a static IP address, or if the unit successfully acquires an IP address from
the DHCP server.
Videohub control panel is attempting to acquire an IP address.
Red flashing light
Unit has acquired an IP address and is attempting to connect to the Videohub Server.
Make sure the Videohub or Videohub Server computer is powered on and connected
via Ethernet.
IP address has been acquired and control panel is attempting to connect to the Videohub Server.
Yellow flashing light
Unit has connected to a Videohub Server computer but the Videohub Server is running an
incompatible software or firmware version. Update Videohub with the latest version of the
Videohub software and firmware and then power cycle the Videohub control panel.
Videohub Server is running an incompatible software or firmware version.
No flashing light
Unit has successfully connected to the Videohub Server and is ready to control the
Videohub if solid white, or solid white and gold, lights can be seen.
Control panel has successfully connected to the Videohub Server.
If the top left button took several minutes to turn red, the unit has failed to acquire an IP address
and has eventually provided itself with a self-assigned AutoIP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx
format. Unless you wish to use an AutoIP address, disconnect and firmly reconnect the network
cables to ensure they are properly connected, check for faulty network cables and make sure
the DHCP server has spare IP addresses available. Unplug and reconnect all power sources
from the Videohub control panel so it will request a new IP address from the DHCP server.
The button should quickly become red. The unit will only perform these diagnostics when it is
not selected in Videohub Hardware Panel Setup software.
