LED

Description

 

 

Per-port Link

Green – Indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into the port

 

and a good link is established.

 

Red (intermittent) – Indicates that the port received an error during

 

operation.

 

Red (solid) – Indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into the

 

port, however, a bad link is established.

 

Off – Indicates that no link from exists with the port.

 

 

Per-port Rx

Green – Indicates when the port’s transceiver receives packets.

 

Orange – Indicates when the port’s transceiver receives flow-control packets.

 

 

Per-port Tx

Green – Indicates when the port’s transceiver transmits packets.

 

Orange – Indicates when the port’s transceiver transmits flow-control

 

packets.

 

 

Per-port AN

Green – Indicates that the gigabit port is autonegotiating the operating mode

 

of the link between full-duplex and half-duplex.

 

Orange (intermittent) – Indicates that autonegotiation is in process.

 

Orange (solid) – Indicates a problem with autonegotiation configuration.

 

Red – Indicates an autonegotiation failure. This fault may occur if the link

 

partner does not support full duplex.

 

Off – Indicates that autonegotiation has been disabled or the link is down.
