Table 3-5. Interpreting the 10BASE-FL Module LEDs

LED Name

Color

State

Indicates

 

 

 

 

Activity

Yellow

Off

No packets are received on

 

 

 

the fiber segment.

 

 

 

 

(Ports 1-4)

 

On

Constant activity on the fiber

 

 

 

segment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking

Module receives packets

 

 

 

from segment to which it is

 

 

 

attached.

 

 

 

 

Status

Green

Off

Port disabled.

 

 

 

 

(Ports 1-4)

 

On

Port enabled or in standby

 

 

 

and link integrity is OK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 blink

No light detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 blinks

Port partitioned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 blinks

FIFO error or MAU jabber

 

 

 

lockup protection.

 

 

 

 

Redundancy

Green

Off

Redundancy is disabled;

(Ports 1&2)

 

 

ports are independent of

(Ports 3&4)

 

 

each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On

Redundancy is enabled

 

 

 

between ports 1 and 2

 

 

 

and/or 3 and 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinking

Redundancy is enabled

 

 

 

between ports 1 and 2

 

 

 

and/or 3 and 4 and there is

 

 

 

a failure on one of these

 

 

 

ports.
