Table 6. 10/100BASE-TX expansion module LEDs

LED	Description
Link	Each port has two LEDs on its connector. The green LED on the left side of
	the connector indicates the link status. When this LED is lit, the port
	hardware is detecting that a cable is plugged into the port and the port has
	established communication with the device at the other end.
Activity	The amber LED on the right side of each port connector flashes each time
	the port’s transceiver sends or receives packets.
