Force PROM Mode Pattern
Steady illumination indicates that the switch is in force PROM mode, which returns
the switch IP address to 10.0.0.1. From force PROM mode, you may reload
firmware, reset the password to the factory default, and remove a corrupt
configuration.

Internal Firmware Failure Blink Pattern
An internal firmware failure blink pattern is 2 blinks per second followed by a two
second pause. The 2-blink error pattern indicates that the firmware has failed, and
that the switch must be reset.
