Sodera LE Front Panel
Frontline Sodera LE front panel is shown below. The panel provides controls to power up and shut down the Frontline Sodera LE hardware, and it provides indicators to show the power and capture status.
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| ANTENNA |
Connect to the front panel antenna SMA connector. Used for wideband wireless capture of Bluetooth low energy transmissions. Maximum useable signal level: -10 dBm. |
| WIRED |
Low sensitivity RF input suitable for conductive testing that utilizes a wired connection from the devices under test (DUTs). Conductive testing allows for isolation of the DUTs from environmental interference. Maximum useable signal level: 27 dBm. |
| OVERLOAD | RF overload indicator. If the RF signal level on either the ANTENNA or WIRED connector is too high, then this LED will light red. RF overload occurs when the signal level is greater than 27 dBm. Should an RF overload occur with the ANTENNA in use, try switching to the less sensitive WIRED connecter to relieve the problem. |
| POWER | LED illuminates when the Sodera LE unit has been powered up using the power button. See "Sodera LE Front Panel Power and Overload Indicators" for more information. |
| EXT CLOCK |
Not used. |
| Power Button |
Press and then release the button to power on or power off the system. |
| Indicator | Color | State | Status Indicated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | None | Off | Unit is powered off. |

| Amber | Constant | Unit is powering on. | |
| Red | Blinking | Unit has reached thermal overload. See "Applying Power". | |
| Constant | Unit has reach thermal overload and has shut down. See "Applying Power". | ||
| Overload | Red | Occassional | Illuminates each time RF power at the Antenna or Wired connectors has exceeded 27 dBm. |
