Should the air module telemetry module have a flashing light on it when it’s plugged in?

Thanks.

The USB side on my laptop flashes green with a quick red flash. (This just stopped after a while, it still flashes green.)

On windows, I got the right driver installed and using MP, I got these details on the USB computer side, and I’m unable to communicate with the drone side…

Is there a way to reset the air side? Or set a key or something?
