Is it normal for ZoneDirector 1200 Status Flashing red ?

[sam_lam]

This is the first time I met ZoneDirector 1200 (ZD1200). Just want to have a simple power on test for the newly purchased ZD1200.

When it is just connected to power supply, nothing else, the STATUS LED keep on flashing in RED. Is it normal ? Checked user guide and it said Flashing Red means "It is starting up or shutting down".

If it is abnormal, what can one do before concluding it is hardware problem ? Thanks in advance

Hi Sal,

   Try another power supply on the ZD1200.  I've seen a flaky power supply cause all kinds of problems
that were not the ZD itself, causing unexpected reboots, etc.  If the power supply is good, the bottom
Power LED should be solid green, and the top Status LED will blink red as it load the current code,
whatever version it's running.  Wait at least 3-5 minutes, and the Status LED should go solid green too.

Dear Shantha Swaroopa Moorthy  & Michael,

Thank first for your quest response and hints.

Found the status LED become Green flashing utlimately. From the user guide it is the normal signal of unconfigured controller.
