RBS40 solid blue light stays on permanently
Has anyone found the fix to the solid blue light that stays on?
My RBS40 satellite has this problem ever since I bought it.
Can tech support put in a fix to disable the light so I can place it in...
This is really strange, as the LED ring should only show blue for some limited time, after the backhaul connection has been established and indicate a good signal strengh/good connection.
If the satellite is working fine, you could just login via the telnet interface and shut off the LED ring and see, if the blue LED ring returns. To do that, login to the satellites web UI and access the debug.htm page, where you can enable the telnet port. Afterwards use telnet to log in to the satellite's OS and simply issue tha follwing command on the terminal:
/sbin/ledcontrol -n all -s off
This will shut down the LED ring until it gets again activated by some other process.
