Corinex Powerline status lights

[Softus]

I have what seems to be a malfunctioning Powerline device.

Does anyone know what the status LEDs mean? Sadly the user manual is useless on this point.

PS - in case anyone is wondering, yes I have already Googled, to no avail.

Which device is it Softus?

Corinex have a UK support number (albeit a mobile).

I guess you already know that tho.

Hi Igorian

Thanks for the manual that you Emailed me.
For anyone else who needs the information, it's available here, and it says:

1. POWER Green On:
Power on
Off: Power off

2. PLC Green
On: Powerline activity
Off : No Powerline activity
Blinking : Receiving/Transmitting data

3. ETHERNET Green
On: Link on LAN
Off: No link on LAN
Blinking: receiving/transmitting data

I Emailed the Corinex people two days ago, and got a reply today.

I've asked them to tell me what a "blinking" power LED means.

Cheers
S.

Had a quick google all I could find was this not much help, sorry. Might reinforce your suspicions.

Thanks Doc Lenny.

As it's the power light indicator that is flashing could this be an indication of a bad supply such as no earth or something like that? Has the device been moved to a different location and the socket outlet has a wiring fault?

All good ideas, tim west.

More information: I installed a new pair (different brand) of Powerline devices, in the same sockets, and they worked immediately.

I kind of know that the Corinex one must be faulty, I was just kind of hoping that the information would be out there on the Interwebby, or that someone from Corinex would be able to confirm it.

Hey ho.
