Ethernet LEDs

L/A - Link/Activity LED lights (green) when the

Ethernet cables are connected and terminated correctly.

FIG. 10 Ethernet LEDs

SPD - Speed LED lights (yellow) when the connection speed is 100 Mbps and turns Off when speed is 10 Mbps.

On NetLinx Masters (such as those aboard the NI-700), from within the Telnet or Terminal applications; you can send the SET ETHERNET MODE command to assign the speed of your Ethernet connection.

Sample command: SET ETHERNET MODE AUTO

The NI-700 and NI-900 only allow you to set the Ethernet mode to AUTO negotiate the Ethernet connection speed. Using any of the other connection modes (10 Half/Full or 100 Half/Full) results in an error message.
