[JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
Hi All; Here is a tip I ran across on another list that I thought might come in handy for a lot of us. Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device. hi folks, thought of this a while back, and then saw this post and realized I was right, it will work, so passed it along! elf - Original Message - From: "Lois Goodine" To: "blind tech" Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 3:58 PM Subject: (BlindTech) Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device. For Lisa and others who may be concerned with knowing the status of indicator lights on a router or modem, I can determine which lights are on, off, or blinking with a light probe. Independent Living aids has one for twenty-three dollars and change. They work well for a number of things. I use my probe to tell me about the lights on various cooking devices such as a rice cooker, foreman grill, and many other things. It will find lights on those little cube shaped power supplies that plug into the wall; the blinking light on the victor stream; the light on the computer speakers; and a host of other things I can't bring to mind just now.

Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
Good Morning Richard; I am sorry about posting such a message but, I have run into situations with our Internet Provider when I needed to know what lights, are or are not, lit on the modem and not having someone sighted around to tell me so I could tell the IP tech support person. Without my service working correctly it renders Jaws useless with trying to use many programs and functions of the computer. I thought that this little tip could help people keep Jaws working more efficiently and have less frustrations in using Jaws in their everyday lives. You see, if I lay on Doctor Phil's couch long enough I can relate anything to using Jaws! LOL Hope this helps clear up my convoluted ways of thinking! LOL Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
Mike, I hear ya there buddy, but even with a light probe all it does is make that buzzin' sound to let ya know a light is on, but sure as heck don't tell ya the color of the blinkin' light which is always what they ask...is the green light on? I'm thinkin' green stands for go so that should be like a no brainer for them to figure out or, otherwise why are you callin'?

Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
Hi Patricia; If you can tell them what lights are on/off in an order, let's say from top to bottom, and the IP tech person can't determine which of these lights is supposed to be On/off and what their colors should be, it is probably a tech support person that you don't want to talk to in the first place. I don't think any of the lights on a modem are suppose to glow in more than 1 color. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
That would be a problem for me. There are 4 lights on my modem. When I use to call for help I never knew the colors of the lights, and the technical support staff would always ask that question. For which I hadn't an answer. Do the color identifiers with light probes included tell us the color of the lights which are on or are blinking? - Original Message - From: "Patricia" To: Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 12:16 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device.

Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
Many routers and other consumer electronics now use tri-color LEDs. They can emit light as green, red, and blue I think.

There are 4 lights on my modem. When I use to call for help I never knew the colors of the lights, and the technical support staff would always ask that question. For which I hadn't an answer. Do the color identifiers with light probes included tell us the color of the lights which are on or are blinking? - Original Message - From: "Patricia" To: Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 12:16 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device.

Hi Listers, But one still would have a hassle, I think, because sometimes the dsl status light flickers, which apparently is wrong, as it should burn constantly.

Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router, modem or other device.
Yes, you can with a good light probe. Flickering causes a warbling rather than a high-pitched tone when the light is on. This is provided you have a probe with a shield around the light detecting diode. - Original Message - From: "Van Der Walt Riana" To: Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 1:37 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] BlindTech Dealing with lights on your router,modem or other device.
