The power indication group (group A) and signal level leds (group C) are is fixed, but the other 9 LEDs (group B and group D) are free to reonfigurable.
Chapter 2. Installing the device 2.1 The very first startup The router has a super-capacitor component insidem, which can protect the device against the possible short (<5sec) power outages. Therefore this component can be charged and it can be exhausted after an outage or if you store the device for months without connecting power source or using.
Next time you don’t need to push the Reset. You can stop the device anytime by removing the power source and start the device by adding the AC power on. 2.2 Normal startup The router has a pre-installed system (which contains the firmware and the pre-configured OpenWrt ®...

e.) When the connectivity LEDs are not blinking anymore the load of the system has finished. f.) If the WAN (APN) interface was not configured yet, the SIGNAL LEVEL low LED is blinking which means the router tries to connect to the wireless network. If it will was configured properly (APN, password and SIM PIN is matching) and the registration was succesful, then the WAN led will be lighting and the current SIGNAL LEVEL leds will be also lighting its signal strength value which means connected and you have useful wireless signal reception...
