Operating conditions

LED statuses

The LED indicator on YSoft OMNI Bridge displays the following colors based on device status:

No light – Early device startup.
Yellow – A module (or the device) is starting or processing.
Blue – All modules are operational.
Orange – User input is required.
Red – Error or alert state.

During normal routine operation after the device has been powered on, the LED color transitions from no light to yellow and then to light blue.

During an update, the components need to be restarted. This will briefly turn the device status indicator yellow, indicating that some component is starting or restarting.

Based on the installed modules, other colors may be displayed. For information on the meaning of these colors, consult the specific module documentation.
