The LEDs on SMARTstreamer indicate operating status, audio reception and connection. Check both the colour and the flashing pattern. The tables explain the existing status guide and suggest the next check.<\/p>\n

CONNECT \u2013 blue: connection<\/h2>\n
Indicator<\/th>Meaning<\/th>What to check<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Off<\/th>No network connection according to the status guide; exception: receiver mode with Network Output disabled.<\/td>Check the network cable and intended operating mode; see the note below.<\/td><\/tr>

SMARTstreamer receiver mode: the audio distribution guide instructs you to disable Network Output. This turns off the CONNECT LED. In this mode, an unlit CONNECT LED alone does not prove a network fault.<\/p>\n
