NIC LEDs

Post by elfidge »

In Settings -> Hardware -> System, LED -> LED Indicator Setup... please add two options for NIC Link and Activity, so that these can be disabled also.

These are surprisingly bright!

I'm going on the assumption these can be disabled of course?

Wow..do you mean the Lan connector LED in the rear side of the NAS? I have not seen any devices with the design capable of turning that off....

Yeah that's the one - I don't see why not, though it depends on whether they are wired to flash in hardware and can't be controlled in software.

Either way, it makes sense considering you can disable all other LEDs.

From my experience the Link and Activity lights on NICs are generally tied to their hardware. They are completely independant of the system lighting. I've never seen a laptop, desktop, server or other network device where these lights could be disabled.
