RUT950 Connection status LEDs
This chapter is an explanation of LED indications on a RUT950 router.
LED Indications
| ACTION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Constant blinking (~ 2Hz) | Router is turning on |
| LED turned OFF | The router has no 4G data connection |
| LED turned ON | The router has 4G data connection |
| EXPLANATION OF CONNECTION LED INDICATIONS | |
| Green and red blinking alternatively ever 500 ms | No SIM or bad PIN |
| Green, red and yellow blinking alternatively every 500 ms | Connecting to GSM |
| Red blinking every 1 sec | Connected 2G, but no data session established |
| Yellow blinking every 1 sec | Connected 3G, no data session established |
| Green blinking every 1 sec | Connected 4G, no data session established |
| Red lit and blinking rapidly while data is being transferred | Connected 2G with data session |
| Yellow lit and blinking rapidly while data is being transferred | Connected 3G with data session |
| Green lit and blinking rapidly while data is being transferred | Connected 4G with data session |
Signal Strength LEDs
Each lit up LED represents a different value of the router's current signal strength in RSSI:
| NO. OF LIT UP LEDs | SIGNAL STRENGTH VALUE |
|---|---|
| 0 | ≤ -111 dBm |
| 1 | -110 dBm to -97 dBm |
| 2 | -96 dBm to -82 dBm |
| 3 | -81 dBm to -67 dBm |
| 4 | -66 dBm to -52 dBm |
| 5 | ≥ -51 dBm |
The 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. When all 5 signal strength LEDs are lit up, they represent that 10 (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 5 LEDs will start blinking every 1 second. This signifies that the router has begun the reset.
