When you work with equipment that isn’t close by, you need to develop an awareness of what the various color and blinking lights mean.
For those of you who find this trivial haven’t had to walk someone through an install or troubleshooting episode from 1,000 miles away, or across town.
I encourage technicians to develop this skill since they will encounter this challenge sooner or later.
Not only should you be aware (and document) what the various color and blinking combination means, but how the lights react to various scenarios. For example, bootup, firmware update, indicator that the device can get to the internet, etc.
In this video, I show you one of many ways to measure the boot up time of a router that I was shipping out. I’m sure you will figure your own way or doing this, if you don’t already have one.
