Figure 7-1 Adapter LEDs

When lit, the green LED (labeled “4”) indicates that the adapter is set to 4 Mbps speed and is correctly inserted into the ring.

When lit, the yellow LED (labeled “16”) indicates that the adapter is set to 16 Mbps and is correctly inserted into the ring.

Using the TokenDisk Diskette Diagnostic Program

Run the TokenDisk diskette Configuration and Diagnostic Program for your installed 3C619C adapter when you need to do the following:

Test for setup/configuration

Test for physical board problems

View adapter statistics

The diagnostic program tests the adapter, not the network. Make sure to boot from DOS before running the diagnostic program because the TokenDisk diskette is not a bootable disk. Make sure that your PC has an 80386 or higher processor.

The 3C619C adapter must be connected to the network for all tests.
