Status light patterns
Rebound! uses the PowerKey status light to let 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 Rebound! is taking action.
Normal conditions
When the system is running normally, the status light will indicate the communication between the PowerKey unit and software:
| solid orange |  |
computer turned off or PowerKey unit not connected |
| solid green |  |
computer starting up, waiting for PowerKey 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 Rebound!'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 PowerKey software to start |
If the computer restarts properly, the light will resume blinking green. If not, Rebound! will attempt additional restarts based on the "Number of restart attempts" slider setting.
| alternating red/orange |  |
PowerKey software failed to start up despite all restart attempts |
