Chapter 1 Network Interface Card (NIC)

Network Indicator

The NET LED displays the status of the network link. When the NET LED is on, link integrity is confirmed. The NET LED flashes off for 1/3 second when a data packet is being transferred. When the NET LED is off, the network connection has been severed.

Dipswitches

On the back of the interface, you will find a small window where you can access two dipswitches labeled 1 and 2 (see Figure 4). The functions of the dipswitches are explained in Table 3.

1	2
OFF	OFF	Normal operation. With both dipswitches in the OFF
		position, the NIC boots up using the settings in flash
		memory rather than the default settings.
ON	OFF	Factory default settings. With the dipswitches in this
		configuration, the NIC boots up and erases all settings
		stored in flash memory except the Ethernet address
		and key value.
OFF	ON	Default IP. With the dipswitches in this configuration,
		the NIC boots up with factory default settings.
		However, the stored settings in flash memory are
		intact. Setting dipswitch 2 to ON does not clear any
		settings stored in flash memory; instead, it boots the
		unit with the IP settings in flash memory temporarily
		ignored.
ON	ON	Reserved. This dipswitch setting is not for customer
		use.
