If the collisions that cause the partitioning cease, the port will
be re-connected to the rest of the network.
The status of the partitioning scheme can be checked at any
time by moving the LNK/PRT switch on the front of the BOCA
NET-8 to the PRT position. If any ports are currently
partitioned, the corresponding LED will come ON.

The BOCA NET-8 implements the Link test function as
specified in the 802.3 10Base-T standard. It transmits Link test
pulses to any port after that port’s transmitter has been inactive
for a short period of time. The device connected to the port will
respond in the same manner.
The Link Status can be viewed on the LEDs of the BOCA NET-8
when the LNK/PRT switch is in the LNK position. If a
successful link has been established, the corresponding LED
will be ON.
