AEBS: Status LED stays green even if modem unplugged?

I recently updated to 7.6.3. and since than have had loads of problems.  I'm not sure if it's just coincidence or if they are 7.6.3. related.  Problems included difficulty connecting to internet, slow wifi speeds and being unable to see the AEBS under Airport Utility on a Macbook (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) unless the device and Mac were rebooted.  It would often then dissapear again.  I've resolved most of those now by going back to 7.6.1.  There is one more issue that I've noticed though that didn't seem to happen before.
Essentially, amidst all the testing and rebooting I was doing I noticed that when the modem (handling the PPPoE with the Airport in bridge mode - forced to this because my ISP does not play nice with Apple's PPPoE authentication) was unplugged or powered down, the green status light on the airport stayed on?  I'm sure it never did this before, indeed I've seen the amber light on when there have been ISP outages.  One thing I haven't tried yet is leaving the modem off for an hour or so to see if that prompts a change to amber.
As yet I haven't done another full factory reset (albeit one was done to get it all working again).as I've wasted two days with the 7.6.3 update and needless to say I need a break from the thing!!!  Just strikes me as odd that despite the internet light on Airport Utility on all the devices shows amber when the ethernet cable is unplugged from the modem yet the green light on the BS stays on AND, under Aiport Utility 5.6 it shows a green light against the airport saying status is 'Normal'?
Surely this should not be happening?  No internet, amber light on AEBS I would have thought?

Thanks.  I'll have a look maybe over the weekend. I know resets are not that complex (albeit I did have loads of problems getting the AEBS to even show again when I did a reset under 7.6.3 when the problems started) but I spent so long sorting the mess out I need to get on and do things ON the internet for a couple of days, rather than trying to get it working LOL!!
I notice you say AU 5.6.1, the version I have other than 6 is 5.6.  That wouldn't be causing any issues would it.  One thing I did try to do when it was all completely screwed is use 5.6 to configure manually.  I now seem to have various .XML profiles under
User/Library/Application Support/Apple/Airport/Configuration
My undesrtanding is that AU doesn't work this was and that these folders/files shouldn't be there?  Maybe I'm wrong?  Are they just profiles under my user name that won't be affecting anything.  Or could they be interfering with AEBS operations and / or warnings in any way.  Is the AEBS confused?  I was tempted to delete the entire airport folder altogether or even just the config settings then do a factory restore of the AEBS under 5.6. Trouble is I'm not sure which AU Airport folder above belongs to (e.g. will it screw things up further if I delete any or all of it).  Bit of a mess really
Yes the settings you mention are correct, the IP addess even picks up at 101, the resrved address on the router.

  • FP2015 status led stay lit

    While turning on the system the status led stay on. Doing this few time, now the Status led doesn’t stay on but it seems that the controller doesn’t make the booting procedure (the Leds doesn’t turn on and off at the begging)

    This issue can generally be solved by formatting the internal Compact FLASH memory on the controller. There is a < a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/6​D0F9F74FD2DAD0186256EE5007198D4?OpenDocument">Know​ledge Base that describes in detail how to format the controller. Sometimes you will first have to switch both the Safe Mode (switch 7) and Reset IP (switch 8) dip switches and cycle the power to first get the controller into a safe state.
    The Compact FLASH corruption is generally due to losing power while writing to a sector on disk. This can cause that sector as well as other adjacent sectors to become corrupt.

  • Process Chain status not becomeing green even if all loads are successful

    Hi,
    The porcess chain status is not becoming green even if all loads are successful.  How can I make it GREEN.
    One more doubt I have.
    Suppose I have 6 processes in my process chain and the 3rd process failed. If I run the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH will start loading from the beginging or from the failed process.
    I wish to load from the failed process onwards..what should I do ??
    Kindly give the details.
    Bill

    Using that FM.. u will be providing the Instance and Variant of the failed process.. and hence the reload will start from the failed process but not the entire chain...
    In general the process status shud finish then or based on the link combination  the change from one process to other will happen...
    try to maintain a wait time between the process atleast 2 to 4 secs..
    thanks
    hope this helps..

  • CFP status led - stays lit solid red!

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a cFP-2120 RT controller where the red LED status light stays lit.  On the instruction manual it says that the unit was not powered up correctly and to contact NI.  The controller used to work fine until we had a short on the mains side of the power supply The AI, AO and thermocouple modules did not power up but the DI and DO modules seemed to be getting power.  Is there anything we can do or just send it back for repairs.  When I replaced the controller with another one, the system worked fine and the status LED turned off after a few seconds.

    Sounds like you've proven that the controller is bad.  Next step is an RMA from NI.  Make sure NI tells you what failed in the controller and see if they will comment on what might have caused it.   The idea being to see if you can do anything to prevent this failure in the future.

  • IPS status LED stays red

    Dear Friends,
    There is a IPS 4260 that reports the status LED to red. When reading the hardware installation guide, i came to know that this indicates a POST failure. I forced a POST again of the IPS by rebooting the IPS but i could not capture any significant error.
    However, i am enclosing the captures of the boot process (Filename: IPS) and the sh tech-support (Filename: IPS Tech support).
    Can you please help me on this?
    Thanks a lot
    Regards
    Gautam

    Shutdonw the IPS for 5 - 10 Minutes and the Restart i did and the issue has been resolved .
    Thanks,

  • ISP Problems - All network status LEDs are green, except Internet and Serve

    System, Macbook Pro Airport Extreme, D-Link cable Modem.
    Randomly I loose the internet. I run Network Diagnosis and it shows green for Airport Airport Settings Network Settings and ISP, but yellow and then eventually red for Internet and Server.
    I run the Network Diagnostics and it usually will resolve the issue, but I'm wondering if I should be complaining to my cable company or changing some setting.

    For anybody experiencing similar difficulties the solution was the security settings on the wirless router. I had to get Orange to access my Macbook remotley to change from wep to wap2.

  • STP blocking but status led green

    hallo
    I have some cat2950 with ios 12.1.22EA7 connected toghether with 3 VLAN and STP (PVST) configured.
    On redundant links the STP shows correctly the blocking state of the interfaces but the STATUS LEDs are GREEN not amber.
    The configs and the tree seems ok, the only strange thing is green leds !!
    Could it be an ios bug or a config problem ?
    francesco

    I'm not sure this is normal as the earlier poster asserted. See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/switches/ps605/products_installation_guide_chapter09186a00800d9cfe.html#39834 for details on what the status LEDs mean. The relevant text is in Table 1-6:
    /quote
    Solid amber:
    Port is not forwarding. Port was disabled by management or an address violation or was blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
    Note After a port is reconfigured, the port LED can remain amber for up to 30 seconds as STP checks the switch for possible loops.
    /end quote
    An STP blocking port is still active and functional, just not passing trafic. It needs to have Ethernet link to communicate in the spanning tree process in the event that it needs to change state. BUT, as the manual says, if it is STP blocking, it should be amber
    Hope this helps. Please rate helpful posts.

  • Cisco 1131AG LWAP status led yellow and other leds blinking green

    I have a problem with three AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9  that joined the controller and the status led turns to yellow after joining the controller while other LEDs are blinking green.
    The APs has no coverage at all although the WCS shows that there is coverage and the 4400WLC shows that the AP interfaces are UP. (The ethernet interface and tha 802.11b,g radio interface is up).
    The SSID broadcast is enabled.
    On the switch the interface is up and there is traffic going in and out of the LAP.
    I tired power reset and factory reset for the APs but the problem remains the same.
    Any ideas for what might be the problem ?!!
    Regards

    Yes the clients are not able to see the SSID broadcasted by the AP.
    But these APs were functioning normally before without any changes to the WLC config.
    I had the same problem with other APs but they went back to normal state after a hardware reset to the APs.

  • My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

    Short answer is you probably cannot.  Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant. 

  • Ultra 45  power/status led no display green light

    Hi, i have a problem with my ultra 45. Wonder if anyone come across this. My system when booted will have the green led on but after awhile the led turns off when booting up. The system is able to run up and perform properly except the status led is off.
    First i assume is due to the keyboard and mouse where i didn't connect properly but it does'nt seems to be the problem. I have search through the net and didn't found any useful solution. Hopefully i can get one here. Thanks

  • MDS 9216 - showing red status LED, not starting up

    Hi,
    In a recent power loss (took out our R&D UPS in the process), an MDS 9216 we have in R&D failed.
    On power up, it shows a red status LED, and does nothing. We've pulled and swapped PSUs (something we're told is a common fix for a common problem with these chassis), to no avail.
    Strangely, we pulled the fan card (which had a green light), and put it back in to see it now also has a red status light.
    We've swapped all cards around for new and spares (even the main cards) and they show up with red status lights in the chassis (can't test them in another chassis at present) so I assume this problem is with the chassis itself (ie the backplane or PSUs).
    Any ideas, any similar experiences?
    Many thanks,

    As far as warranty, it would be covered for 1 year or 90 days from purchase....not sure which, but since the 9216 is end of sale for a few years now, I doubt that is covered under warranty. If you have a maintenance contract covering that 9216 serial number, then it would be covered. The design on the 9216 is that the module 1 is not field replaceable. There is no Cisco part number for the slot1 line card. It is a hybrid of a 16 port FC module with a supervisor daughter card. It is basically considered part of the chassis. If you have your own spare 9216 and feel energetic you could replace the slot 1 line card....but from the official support perspective, it is not replaceable.
    There are no other replaceable parts besides the chassis and PS that would cause this problem. (I assume you have removed any line card from slot2 to be sure it was not causing the problem).
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Cisco881W poe status light always on even not connected any devices.

    I noticed yestedday, the poe status lights on front is stay on even not connected any devices on port 0 and 1. Is this the normal ?
    Thank you,

    So, I had my laptop sent to an "authorised HP service" in my country, and it came back with more problems than before.
    So, let me tell you my story :
    I've sent my laptop to System Plus ( http://www.system-plus.ro/ ) where the result of the diagnostics was the following:
    - deffective motherboard ( p/n: 651358-001 )
    - power on/off button ( p/n: 651360-001) - and I have to admit that I didn't had any problem with this one
    - latch cover
    "Rezultat diagnoza:     = MB defect- led pw ramane aprins. Ajustat clema cover; inlocuit MB, constatat led power button defect /02dec13"
    In translation: Diagnosis result: = MB fault pw LED remains lit. Adjusted latch cover, replaced MB, found faulty power LED button / 02dec13
    The parts replaced were the following:
    - motherboard
    - card reader
    "Operatiuni efectuate:    = Inlocuit MB+card reader"
    In translation: "Operations performed: = Replaced MB + card reader"
    So, in the end I took my laptop back from System Plus and fount out that it has more problems than before.
    Power LED is still ON, even though I was told that they've tried with two NEW motherboards and still had this issue, a thing which I really don't believe.
    The white led on the Power ON/OFF switch that worked before sending it for repairs, now doesn't work anymore, although in the service papers they say that the power on/off button was replaced
    Now the laptop OVERHEATS, in idle mode it reaches aprox 65 degrees ...
    Please advise me on what to do next ... Now my machine is worser than it was before.
    Hoping for a replacement from Hp ...

  • Why does my mouse optical LED stay on (PS/2) when PC off

    I've got the MSI KT4 Ultra (Vanilla)... when I'm using my mouse thru the PS/2 connector and shutoff the PC, the LED stays on... also my router shows that the PC is still connected even tho my PC is off... the other PCs on the network don't have this problem... finally my keyboard NumLock light is on when PC off, which forced me to connect my old keyboard with no light indicators...
    so what I think the problem is, is the wake-on features... all have been disabled in the Bios but is there another setting in the Bios that can stop this small amount of electricity being used on these devices... I'm afraid my LEDs will eventually wear out...
    I could plug my input devices to USB, but I much rather prefer using PS/2 simply cuz the mouse software I use with the mouse works perfectly under these conditions and sets me up as a normal mouse when USB (I've got 5 buttons on the mouse)...
    is there another jumper onboard that can disable these features, or again a Bios setting? or does the newest Bios fix these issues (if u can call them issues)

    ok I may have found a solution but I'm not sure...
    Fri night I decided to switch Ethernet PCI cards... my net was slow and constantly losing connection with router during gaming sessions so I thought this may have fixed it (turned out to be a net issue)... as said previous I switched from my Aopen 325 (has WOL feature) to my old Sohoware Auto PCI (not sure but don't think WOL is on this card - don't have a manual since it came with my cable modem)...
    first let WinXP load default drivers... it loaded the chip drivers as macronix... now I think I distinctly remember shutting off to do some gut working... optical LED was still on (not sure)... did my work and switched PC on and loaded on the Sohoware drivers... PC was on overnight till Sat when I shut it off at night... not paying attention to the LED, I woke up Sun morning with the LED off... very odd since I didn't think putting on proper driver would fix it... woke up today with the same thing... I just shutdown to make sure it wasn't luck and again LED was off...
    originally my Aopen used the Realtek drivers as that is what XP detected... I've used the Aopen drivers with no luck... now it seems as tho it's fixed by simply using an Ethernet with no WOL feature... still I'm not sure if the Sohoware card does or does not support WOL...
    so I'm really out of hardware to test out... if anyone else can further put time into checking this and confirm if this is a WOL Ethernet + MSI KT4 (I've also heard other mobos can have same effect) problem...
    if things change I will post it here again but so far so good...
    [edit]
    sohoware has no mention of WOL feature for my card on their site... yet Aopen has confirmed that their card has WOL feature... I went to Macronix website and they don't have mention of WOL for their chip so I guess Sohoware card dont' support it either... again not sure if LED was off when I shutoff before gutting my PC...
