The FTA/FTAA would really like to be able to see the lights in the event of a problem on the field. The lights help with troubleshooting such things as:
  • Did the Rio reboot?
  • Did the Radio Reboot?
  • Are the Rio/Radio receiving power?
  • Is there network activity? (ethernet cable unplugged?)
  • Many more I'm forgetting early this morning

It helps to be able to tell the team/inspector what we saw so that there is a starting point on getting it fixed and not missing a match. If you can help us with being able to see, we can help narrow down what the cause may be.
