The XGS 126 and 136's status light, lit once the appliance is up, 2026-10-27
735: under OPNsense the status light on the
front of an XGS 126 blinked for as long as the appliance ran. The vendor's appliance table, which its
installer images carry, gives each model a STATUS_LED field. For the XGS 126 and 136 it is I2C, in the
installer images of vendor versions 21, 22 and 23 alike: the light is two registers of the board's
controller at slave 0x40 on the host's SMBus - 0xf2 the green, 0xf3 the red, each 0x01 lit, 0x51
blinking and 0x00 dark; a blinking one can read back as 0x29. The board's own start leaves the green
blinking, and the vendor's software lights it at the end of its boot. Under OPNsense nothing did. (The XGS
3300's field is NO: the vendor's software never sets that one.)
