Description:

The power LED on the LANCOM router flashes. What exactly is the problem?


Prerequisite:


Explanation:

A power LED may flash for a number of reasons:
    1) The preset time or charge limit was reached , after which the router no longer allows any outgoing connections.

    2) The router has not been assigned a password (security feature).

    3) There was an hardware error . This is the case when the device freezes with a flashing red power LED while booting.

Solution:

For 1):
You can set the number of charge units and the time limit available to the router in LANconfig under Configuration -> Management -> Costs.

Set these entries to 0 if you wish to switch this monitoring off, or select a relevant value.




For 2):
In the interest of security, specify a password for the router under Configuration -> Management -> Admin.
