When TCP/IP voltmeter is connected to the network and power is on, voltmeter will begin to send and receive packets. This is indicated by yellow and green LED diode. If both are blinking, then the voltmeter is working properly.
POWER LED diode indicates that the power supply is connected. The PROG LED indicates that the processor is working.
