Push Button Operations; Configuration Mode - GE Mini Field Agent User Manual

2.2 Push Button Operations

The Push Button on the front of the Mini Field Agent (above the green ON LED) is used for the following activities based on
how long the Push Button is held and released. Each time interval that corresponds to an operation has a unique fast blink
pattern that indicates releasing the Push Button at this time will perform an operation. In between these time intervals, all
LEDs blink slowly. Releasing the Push Button during a time interval when all LEDs are blinking slowly or when the Push
Button is held for 30 or more seconds will result in no operation and the LEDs will return to their normal behavior described
in the section, Push Button and

2.2.1 Configuration Mode

If the Push Button is released during this time interval, the Mini Field Agent will enable Configuration Mode. In Configuration
Mode, a Wi-Fi hotspot is enabled that can be used to enroll the Mini Field Agent in Predix EdgeManager and read device
diagnostics using an iPhone® app. While in Configuration Mode, the green ON LED fades in and out slowly. The orange ACT
LED and the blue Cloud LED will both continue to operate normally according to the state of the Mini Field Agent.
Configuration Mode can be disabled by repeating the same steps taken to enable it, or by waiting one hour for Configuration
Mode to automatically disable. When Configuration Mode is disabled, the LEDs will return to their normal behavior described in
the section,
