Power LED

The green LED indicates the power status. The LED will light up when the AC power connector is properly connected to a power source.

Collision LEDs

There are two (2) separate collision LEDs for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments. If a collision is detected on a 10Mbps segment, the “10” LED will ash amber. If a collision is detected on a 100Mbps segment, the “100” LED will ash amber. Collisions occur when 2 or more ports receive data simultaneously

100TX (Speed-Detection) LEDs

The 100TX LED lights up when 100Mbps operation is detected. The 100TX LED will not light up if 10Mbps operation is detected.

Link / Activity LEDs

The LINK / ACTIVITY LEDs service both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX operation. A steady green light indicates that a good link has been established. A ashing green light indicates that data is being received.

If the Link LED does not display a steady green link light, please check the following:

1.Make sure the power is turned on for both the PC and EtheRx hub.

2.Verify that the correct network drivers have been loaded on the PC. Some network adapters require the drivers to be loaded to establish a proper link.

3.Make sure the correct cable type is selected.
