Port Status LEDs

TE100-S55 is equipped with six Status LEDs which reflect the status of each port.

As you connect a network cable to the TE100-S55, it will auto- detect the type of cable and the corresponding 10/100 LED will light up. Likewise, depending on the port connection, the DUPLEX LED will light up to indicate its status of full or half duplex signaling.

When a port connection is active, the LINK LED will light up to indicate its operative state. Also, as activities occur on the network, the RX or TX LED will light up to indicate its transmission or reception of data.

When multiple packets are delivered at the same time, a collision will occur and the COL LED will light up. Although collisions are normal, if there’s too much, you should consider rearranging the workgroups or optimize the network for reduced traffic.
