I have new pcbs each with an xport attached. i tried using deviceinstaller to detect and setup the xport, but they aren't being detected.
The right-side light on the xport is alternating between amber and green, a pattern not shown in any of the documentation (amber-green-off, amber-green-off, that pattern repeating), with or without an ethernet cable plugged in. I have the device connected to an rs-485 transceiver, connecting gpio1 as transmit enable (except I can't setup the xport since it can't be detected via ethernet, so i haven't been able to try uart comm yet). in my bench tests this worked fine: i would program a gpio as the 485 transmit enable, and then serial communication works fine. i have a pullup on the reset line, in my bench test i just tie this directly to 3.3V which worked. So i tried removing the pullup resistor and that did nothing. I tried shorting reset directly to 3.3V like in my bench test and that didn't help either. The only indication I have, other than the right-side LED (which isn't documented well enough to tell me what the pattern means) is that the xport seems to be rather warm. I don't know if these things normally run on the warm side, or if it means something is shorted.
In any event, i have this alternating LED, and unable to discover the xport in device installer.
the model number of the xport is XP1001000-05R.
