Summary

In this article, we will go through all the definitions and actions to take based on the behavior of the IG41 LEDs.

All IG41 LEDs

IG41 Power and State LEDs Guide

LED State

What it Means

What to Do

Solid Red or Blinking Red

Critical Error

Power cycle the gateway  - Disconnect power, wait 20 seconds, reconnect power. Allow the device 1-2 minutes to get to a blinking red or green state. Note: Several power cycles may be required. If this doesn’t work, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Note: If there are IO modules attached to the gateway, try a power cycle again with the modules removed. If the gateway LED goes green, let it stay connected for 30 minutes and then try adding the modules back on.

Solid Yellow

Non-Critical Error

Requires a reboot to try to fix - Disconnect power, wait 20 seconds, reconnect power. Allow the device 1-2 minutes to get to a blinking red or green state. Note: Several power cycles may be required. If this doesn’t work, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Blinking White

Power On Initialization. System is booting-up/initializing from a reset and has not yet determined system state.

Wait for the IG41 to move to the blinking green state. If it does not change from this state after five minutes, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Blinking Green

Monitoring data, but no cloud connection. Not connected to cloud, but still collecting/recording data. The device is looking for a connection and will become solid green when it has found a connection.

  • Re-seat antenna and make sure the antenna is properly screwed onto the IG41. Confirm that the antenna is labelled LTE. Physically inspect the antenna and cable to make sure there isn’t any damage or blockages

  • Check cellular coverage - An array or directional antenna may improve connectivity in areas with low coverage. A signal meter can be used to verify the signal strength. IG41 Install Guide

  • Confirm Wifi Access (if applicable) - Set up Local WiFi SSID and credentials in the settings page of the Samsara cloud platform. Ensure that the device is able to connect to the access point or is white-listed for any device filtering.

  • Confirm Ethernet settings (if applicable) - Confirm that Ethernet is securely connected. If DHCP is unavailable, make sure to assign the device a Static IP (Gateway Settings page). Switch ethernet ports if possible.

  • If all above methods fail - Connect IG41 to an ethernet drop with a dynamic IP address so it is able to access the internet. Power cycle and leave it for 15 minutes and the gateway should recover.

  • If it still won’t connect over a direct ethernet connection, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Solid Green

Connected to Cloud. Connected to cloud. All functionality working.

No action needed, everything is working as expected.

Off (Dark)

No power.

Check power supply - 10-28 VDC, if possible try different power source or cable. Measure the voltage on the IG41 terminals eliminate any possible variables with wiring.

IG41 Serial/CAN Interface LEDs Guide

LED State

What it Means

What to Do

Solid Orange

CAN Enabled in RS232 Mode

Nothing.

Solid Blue

CAN Enabled in RS485 Mode

Nothing.

️ Off - Dark

Not Configured

If the IG41 does not have any CAN third party devices created, this is in the correct state.

If a CAN third party device has been created, the LED should be in one of the two states above. Double check the third party device settings. If the LED will not turn on still, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

LED State

What it Means

What to Do

Solid Red

Critical Error

Power cycle the gateway  - Disconnect power, wait 20 seconds, reconnect power. Allow the device 1-2 minutes to get to a blinking red or green state. Note: Several power cycles may be required. If this doesn’t work, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Solid Yellow

Non-Critical Error. Not communicating with gateway.

Requires a reboot to try to resolve - Disconnect power, wait 20 seconds, reconnect power. Allow the device 1-2 minutes to get to a blinking red or green state. Note: Several power cycles may be required. If this doesn’t work, contact Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Blinking White

Power On Initialization - System is booting-up/initializing from a reset and has not yet determined system state.

Wait for the IG41 to move to the blinking green state. If it does not change from this state after five minutes, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Solid Green

Communicating with Gateway. All functionality working

Nothing.

Off (Dark)

No power.

Check power supply - 10-28 VDC, if possible try different power source or cable.

IG41 Module Data Pin LEDs Guide - ANALOG

LED State

Mode

Analog Input

Analog Output

What to Do

Solid Orange

Current Mode

Inputs are configured and within system ranges (4-20mA)

DAC channel active

If input/output is configured as current, no action needed. If the LED is not blue, double check configuration. If configuration is set to current and the LED is not blue, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

Solid Blue

Voltage Mode

Inputs are configured, on and within system ranges (0-10V)

DAC channel active

If input/output is configured as voltage, no action needed. If the LED is not orange, double check configuration. If configuration is set to voltage and the LED is not orange, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

️ Off - Dark

None

No data input assigned to pin (Voltage Mode)

No data output assigned to pin (High Impedance)

If the channel is not set to voltage or current, the LED is in the correct state.

If the channel has been configured to voltage or current and LED will not turn on still, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment

IG41 Module Data Pin LEDs Guide - DIGITAL

LED State

Mode

Digital Input/Output

What to Do

Solid Orange

Output

Signal active

The channel LED will illuminate orange when the outputs are active, no action needed.

Solid Blue

Input

Signal active

The channel LED will illuminate blue when the inputs are active, no action needed.

️ Off - Dark

None

Signal not present

If the channel is not active, the LED is in the correct state. To test if the input or output is active, voltage can be measured on the terminals to verify that it should be active. Double check the wiring here:IG41 - DIO Module Install Guide

If there is voltage across the input or output and the LED is off, contact Samsara Support: Welcome to Samsara for Connected Equipment
