3.
Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED is ON (flashing amber,
blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit) LED is not
blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on:
a.
Verify that the LED mode switch located near the COM port of the module is in the UP
position (RX and TX LED indicators).
b.
Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and
111 ohms. If the port is to operate at 100 Mbps, category 5 cabling must be used.
c.
Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is on and properly
connected to the segment.
