Utilization and Collision LEDs

There are five Utilization and five Collision LEDs to display the network traffic and number of collisions on the network. The utilization LEDs measure the amount of data traffic in frames per second (FPS). The LEDs will light in relation to the amount of traffic. The collision LEDs measure the collisions per second (CPS). The LEDs will light in relation to the amount of collisions.

FPS/CPS		% Activity	LED 1	LED 2	LED 3	LED 4	LED 5
1-49	1%		ON
50-99	7%		ON	ON
100-199	15%		ON	ON	ON
200-399	30%		ON	ON	ON	ON
400 +		≥ 60%	ON	ON	ON	ON	ON

AUI LED

For 16-Port models only. The two-color LED displays two states of operation for the Activity and Partition status on the AUI port. When data is received, the LED will flash green. If the port has been partitioned due to excessive collision or other faulty condition, it will display solid red.

Note: Upon power up, the AUI port LED will not be lit unless a transceiver is attached to the port and there is activity.

BNC LED

The two-color LED displays the Activity and Partition status on the BNC port. When data is received, the LED will flash green. If the port is partitioned due to excessive collision or other faulty condition, it will display solid red.

Note: Upon power up, if the BNC port has no cable attached or is not properly terminated at both ends, the LED will display red to show the port has been partitioned. Upon receipt of good packets, the LED will automatically change from red to green indicating that the port is functioning properly.
