LED C means the DSP is in RX mode. If continuous streaming is on, 3
things can cause this light to shutoff:
1) a stop streaming command packet (from issue stream command)
2) overflow in the device. This never happens on the network devices
unless the sample rate is > 25e6 and the wire format is still sc16
3) ICMP destination unreachable packet. This usually comes when the
kernel sees that a destination socket is not open.
I think you can eliminate 1 and 2. Can you confirm 3 with a wireshark run?
