Troubleshooting with Indicators

 

 

 

 

 

The indicators on the Ethernet Unit can be used to troubleshoot some error.

 

 

 

 

The probable cause and correction for errors that can be determined from the

 

 

 

 

LINK, HOST, RUN, ERC, and ERH indicators are listed in the following table.
