Pace 4111N Service Light - What does it mean?

by digitalbitstream » Sat Sep 15, 2012 10:08 am

The page https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/Pace_4111N is as of this writing silent on the topic.
There are POWER WIRELESS and BROADBAND lights on the Pace 4111N that I understand.
The SERVICE light however sometimes blinks in concert with ethernet activity. What does this light mean?

The service light indicates layer 3 connectivity. The ethernet and service LEDs will flash as traffic is passed.

If you're not into the bits and bytes of networking, you shouldn't care. If you're interested in learning something about it, start here:

There was a missing

there. Why would such a prominent LED on the unit blink in a way that only .01% of the population would care about?
