Status light patterns
Kick-off!'s status light lets you know that it is on the job. The colors and patterns of this light indicate when the system is running smoothly as well as when Kick-off! is taking action.
Normal conditions
When the system is running normally, the status light will indicate the communication between the Kick-off! unit and software:
| solid red |  |
Kick-off! unit not connected (serial numbers greater than 8000 only) |
| solid orange |  |
computer turned off or Kick-off! unit not connected (serial numbers less than 8000 only) |
| solid green |  |
computer starting up, waiting for Kick-off! software to start |
| blinking green |  |
running normally, system timer counting down |
| briefly solid green |  |
software resetting system timer |
| pulsing orange |  |
computer sleeping |
When the system crashes
If the system crashes and Kick-off!'s system timer expires, the status light shows you the steps of the restarting process:
| blinking green | |
system timer counting down to zero |
| short red blinks |  |
outlet turned off |
| solid orange | |
outlet turned on, sending startup signal |
| green w/orange blinks |  |
computer starting up, waiting for Kick-off! software to start |
If the computer restarts properly, the light will resume blinking green. If not, Kick-off! will attempt additional restarts based on the "Number of restart attempts" slider setting.
| alternating red/orange |  |
Kick-off! software failed to start up despite all restart attempts |
