The following are the INLINE™ 6 Adapter Indicator Lamp Functions:
Power Lamp
When the power lamp is lighted green continuously, this means DC power is being supplied to the adapter
at the proper voltage level. The INLINE™ 6 adapter requires +8-VDC to +50-VDC at 250 mA that can be
supplied through the OEM connector or by a separate power source.
When the power lamp is lighted red continuously, this means that either the INLINE™ 6 adapter is
receiving a low power supply voltage (less than 8-VDC) or is only receiving power from the USB port.
When the power lamp is off, this means that the INLINE™ 6 is receiving no power.
CAN 1 Port Lamp
A CAN 1 red flashing lamp indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is physically connected to a CAN data
link. However, it is not communicating with an ECM on the CAN data link. A CAN 1 green flashing lamp
indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is communicating with an ECM on the CAN data link.
CAN 2 Port Lamp
A CAN 2 red flashing lamp indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is physically connected to a CAN data
link. However, it is not communicating with an ECM on the CAN data link. A CAN 2 green flashing lamp
indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is communicating with an ECM on the CAN data link.
J1708 Port Lamp
A J1708 red flashing lamp indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is physically connected to a J1708 data
link. However, it is not communicating with an ECM on the J1708 data link. A J1708 green flashing lamp
indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is communicating with an ECM on the J1708 data link.

An RS-232 green flashing lamp indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is connected to an active RS-232
port and exchanging communications. An RS-232 lamp in the OFF state indicates that the INLINE™ 6
adapter is not communicating over the RS-232 port.
USB Port Lamp
A USB green flashing lamp indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is connected to an active USB port and
is exchanging communications. A USB lamp in the OFF state indicates that the INLINE™ 6 adapter is not
communicating over the USB port.
