· Power LED: glows solid green when power is supplied to the NetScreen-10/100.
· Status LED: glows solid green when the NetScreen-10/100 is first powered up and the unit first performs diagnostics. Then the unit goes into a startup phase, which takes up to one minute to complete. During startup, the LED blinks orange, after which the LED blinks green. If an error is detected, then the LED illuminates red. The LED changes to yellow whenever the unit writes to the internal flash card.
