Normal Operatio n for System Loading LEDs

The System Loading LEDs light green to indicate the percentage of the maximum number of VPN connections currently being used. For example, if the maximum VPN connections are 500 and the number of active connections are 25, the 20 LED lights green to indicate up to a 20 percent load. To make the 20 and 40 LEDs light, the load must be between 20 and 40 percent: 100 to 200 users.

Table 2-5 lists the percentage of connections used in relation to the System Loading LEDs.
