LEDs
The link LED (LNK
) lights when a valid link pulse is established during
normal operation. If no data or link pulses are detected, the LED does not light,
indicating a failed status (refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting information).
___________________________Note _____________________
The link LED is insensitive to the status of AUI or BNC
connections. Use the 1Step utility to check these connections. (See
the Diagnostics section in Chapter 3 for more information.)
