3.1.1. LED Indicators and Membrane Buttons

The function of the LED indicators is defined by which membrane button is active (flashing).

Pressing the purple membrane button activates the purple labels:

  • AE1-AE5: Link Status of Automotive Ethernet Ports 1-5

  • AE6: The status of the 100/1000BASE-T1 port

  • HSCAN 1-2 Status

Pressing the white membrane button activates the white labels: (user defined)

  • LIN: LIN Status

  • CoreMini Active (1 Circular Arrow)

  • Sync 1-5 (2 Circular Arrows): Reserved for future use

The color of the membrane button indicates the state of RAD-Jupiter
