4.3 LED status indicator and restart
The digitalSTROM Meter and the digitalSTROM Server have an LED status indicator on the front of the housing. The colour of the display optically signals the operating condition of the digitalSTROM Meter and digitalSTROM Server.
Please note that the LED of the dSS11-E does not correspond to the digitalSTROM LED status indicator. The LED of the dSS11-E only indicates the power supply (green LED).
The operating condition of the digitalSTROM Meter can also be checked in the web-based digitalSTROM Configurator. The status of the LED status indicator and hardware errors are shown as icons in the main section
Hardware in the digitalSTROM Meter selection list (see chapter
5.3.1).

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB connections of the current dSS11-E.

Please note that the file will be deleted automatically from the USB flash drive after a successful restart.
