Network Device

Abstract

A network device may be configured to be connected with an external device in a communicable manner via a network. The network device may be provided with a first light emitting element configured to indicate a first type of information concerning a communication of data via the network, and a light emitting element control unit. The network device may be configured to be set in any one of a plurality of performance states including a first performance state and a second performance state. Power consumption in the second performance state may be smaller than power consumption in the first performance state. The light emitting element control unit may allow emission of the first light emitting element in a first case where the network device is set in the first performance state. The light emitting element control unit may control the first light emitting element in a second case where the network device is set in the second performance state such that power consumption of the first light emitting element in the second case is smaller than power consumption of the first light emitting element in the first case.
