Description

 

 

 

Power

 

On (green) when power is applied to the unit. Off

 

 

when no power is applied to the unit.

 

 

 

CopperLink -

 

On (green) when the end-to-end CopperLink link

Link

 

between the units is established. Off when the link

 

 

has not been established or when the link fails

 

 

 

CopperLink -

 

Flashes yellow at different rates to indicate the

QOL

 

amount of error correction taking place on data pass-

 

 

ing over the CopperLink link. This is a normal operat-

 

 

ing condition and all data is passing correctly over the

 

 

link even if the link is solidly yellow. However, if the

 

 

LED is solid yellow and the CopperLink Link LED

 

 

is Off, then there is too much noise on the line for an

 

 

active link.

 

 

 

Ethernet - Link

 

On (green) when the 10/100Base-T Ethernet link

 

 

has been established. Off when the 10/100Base-T

 

 

Ethernet link has not been established or when the

 

 

link fails. Flashes when there is Ethernet activity.

 

 

 

Ethernet - COL

 

Flashes yellow to indicate Ethernet collisions are

(Collision)

 

occurring.

 

 

 

Ethernet - FDX

 

On (yellow) when in full-duplex Ethernet mode. Off

(Duplex)

 

when when operating in half-duplex Ethernet mode.

 

 

 

Ethernet - 100M

 

On (yellow) when the link has not been established

 

 

or when operating in 100-Mbps Ethernet mode. Off

 

 

when operating in 10-Mbps Ethernet mode.
