3. A Tour of RAD-Jupiter Hardware
Before learning how to configure and set up the device, let’s examine the device from all sides to understand all of its interfaces and status indicators.
3.1. Label and Status Indicators
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 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
| Color | State |
|---|---|
| Orange | Powered |
| White | USB Connected |
| Blue/Green Flash | Online with VSPY |
| Magenta | Script Running |
