CTP100T USER’S MANUAL

Using LANVIEW

The CTP100T adapter uses Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic
and status monitoring system, LANVIEW. LANVIEW LEDs are more ef-
fective than a network monitor because networking personnel can quick-
ly scan the LEDs to diagnose network problems and to determine which
node or segment is faulty.

The following discusses the function and purpose of each CTP100T
LANVIEW LED shown in Figure 4-2.
