Chapter 5. Ws5100 Led Behavior Comparison; Ws5100 1.4.X And 2.X Baseline Led Behavior; Start Up; Configured As A Primary Switch - Motorola WS5100 Series Migration Giude

The 1.4.x and 2.x version WS5100 switches have LED behavior that differs from the new 3.o baseline switch.
The 3.0 version switch does not have the same "standby" switch LED functionality that was present in the
1.4.x and 2.x baselines. Additionally, the new 3.0 version switch has a cluster functionality resulting in LED
behavior previously unseen in the earlier baselines. This chapter contains an overview of the differences in
LED behavior between the 1.4.x and 2.x baselines and the WS5100 baseline.

5.1 WS5100 1.4.x and 2.x Baseline LED Behavior

All versions of the WS5100 switch have two vertically-stacked LEDs on its front panel. The LEDs display
three colors (blue, amber, and red), and three lit states (solid, blinking, and off). However, there are some
states that are unique to the WS5100 1.4.x and 2.x version models.
