INDICATORS
Your network card has indicators or lights that can give you information about
your network traffic and help you determine problems when troubleshooting.
The card has two indicators labeled ACT and LINK. A steady green LINK light
indicates a good connection with the switch. A flashing green ACT light indicates
that the network card is sending or receiving data.
When your computer is turned on and the network card is inserted into an open
slot connector, a green light on the direct port LED indicator indicates that the card
is linked to the network.
If the LED remains dark without any apparent cause, check the network card
installation. If there is an exclamation point next to the card, then click or
double-click to open. A message indicates the error.
