Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the display of status information associated with a network device using a plurality of multi-function status indicators, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). In one implementation, a network device includes a plurality of user-viewable status indicators adapted to display status information associated with the network device. The network device further includes a processor adapted to detect a plurality of event conditions at the network device. A logic circuit of the network device is adapted to determine first and second sets status information to be displayed by the status indicators. A control circuit of the network device is adapted to provide the status indicators with display states associated with the first and second sets of status information without requiring user interaction with the network device. The event conditions may be multiplexed to identify associations between the event conditions and the display states.
