As this front view of the OfficeConnect Hub 8/TPC illustrates, each OfficeConnect unit offers a variety of LED indicators, including an Alert LED to allow quick moni- toring of hub and network activity. The Alert LED ensures immediate notification of problems such as excessive network use without requiring special technical knowledge on the part of users.
