Status light patterns

Kick-off!'s status light lets you know that Kick-off! 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! hardware and software:

solid orange computer turned off or
Kick-off! unit not connected
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
