RUTXR1 LEDs

This page contains information the different types of LEDs and their behaviour on a RUTXR1 device.

Power LED

The power LED is located on the bottom left corner of the front panel, just under the power connector.

It indicates whether the device is powered on or not.

State	Description
M LED turned on	Device is powered over the Main power connector.
M LED turned off	Device is not powered over the Main power connector.
R LED turned on	Device is powered over the Reserve power connector.
R LED turned off	Device is not powered over the Reserve power connector.

WiFi band LEDs

The WiFi band LEDs are located at the bottom of the front panel of the device, to the left of the Ethernet ports.

They display whether a WiFi Access Point (AP) is active on a specific band.

State	Description
2.4 LED turned on.	At least one 2.4 GHz Access Point is running.
2.4 LED turned off	No 2.4 GHz Access Points are running.
5 LED turned on	At least one 5 GHz Access Point is running.
5 LED turned off	No 5 GHz Access Points are running.

WAN type LEDs

The WAN type LEDs are located at the top-right of the front panel.

They indicate which type of Internet connection is currently active.

State	Description
SIM1 LED on	A mobile data connection on SIM1 is active.
SIM1 LED off	A mobile data connection on SIM1 is inactive.
SIM2 LED on	A mobile data connection on SIM2 is active.
SIM2 LED off	A mobile data connection on SIM2 is inactive.
WiFi LED on	A WiFi data connection (WiFi WAN) is active.
WiFi LED off	A WiFi data connection (WiFi WAN) is inactive.
ETH LED on	An Ethernet data connection (wired WAN) is active.
ETH LED off	An Ethernet data connection (wired WAN) is inactive.

Mobile network type LEDs

The mobile network type LEDs are located near the SIM card slot.

They display which type of Internet connection is currently active.

Action	Description
3G LED turned on	Device is connected to a 3G network.
4G LED turned on	Device is connected to a 4G network.
3G blinking	Device is connected to a 3G network but hasn't received an IP address.
3G blinking rapidly	Device is connected to a 3G network and data is being transferred.
4G blinking	Device is connected to a 4G network but hasn't received an IP address.
4G blinking rapidly	Device is connected to a 4G network and data is being transferred.
All LEDs blinking at the same time every 500 ms	No SIM card or incorrect PIN.
All LEDs turn on and off in a sequence one after the other	The device is attempting to connect to a mobile network operator.

Mobile signal strength indication LEDs

The mobile signal strength indication LEDs are located near the SIM card slot.

The number of lit up LEDs represents a different mobile signal strength (RSSI) value in dBm.

No. of lit up LEDs	Signal strength value
0	≤ -111 dBm
1	-110 dBm to -82 dBm
2	-81 dBm to -52 dBm
3	≥ -51 dBm

The Mobile signal strength LEDs can also be used as a time indicator for holding the reset button. When you press and hold the reset button, if there is a User's default configuration configured on the device, you have to hold it pressed for 6 seconds (by default) to initiate a User's default configuration reset and 12 seconds (by default) to initiate a Factory reset. Otherwise, it is only necessary to hold the reset button for 6 seconds to trigger a Factory reset. If the button was held down longer than 20 seconds (by default) no action will be taken.

While holding the reset button each lit up signal strength LED indicate that a period of two seconds has passed. In case with RUTXR1, when all 3 Mobile signal strength LEDs are lit up, they represent that 6 (LED number multiplied by 2) seconds have passed since you pressed down on the reset button.

After releasing the button at one of the reset periods, all 3 LEDs will start blinking every 1 second. This signifies that the router has begun the reset.
