“Full-Duplex/Collision” indicator is OFF.
“100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT LED” indicator is light amber.
B. 100BASE-TX Hub
For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following:
“Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator is OFF. “100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator is light green.
Switch to switch (other devices)
The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two -pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable.
1.The “100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator light green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.
2.The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends upon LAN card capabilities for full-duplex or half-duplex
