    status
  • Single sequences
     of blink codes report
    events

4 single red blinks
Factory setting restore started.
NOTE: During the restoring factory settings procedure on RK2x RM2x DM2x routers, the LED continues to flash alternatively red and green. At the end of the procedure, a sequence of red blinks indicate an error during the restoring process.
5 single red blinks
The Runtime execution error: a system restart will follow.
6 single red blinks
The USB stick data format is not correct or an unknown error occurred.
Remote connection
Steady lighted
It activates when at least one
FTRA Manager
Ubiquity Manager
 is connected to the router, otherwise it is deactivated.
