)

Troubleshooting Checklist (

)

Using the RESET Button (

Section 4.3

)

4.1

USING LANVIEW

The modules use a built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system called LANVIEW. The 
LANVIEW LEDs (

Figure 4-1

) allow quick observation of the network status to aid in diagnosing 

network problems. 

Viewing Receive and Transmit Activity 

Only one group of segments may be viewed at a time. 

To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the GROUP SELECT 
button (see 

Figure 4-1

) to step to the group of interest (Groups 1 through 4). Each time the GROUP 

SELECT button is pressed, the GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which Group is 
selected. The receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX 
and TX LEDs for each segment.

Fast Ethernet Speed LED

This LED indicates whether the port is in 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet. When the LED is off, 
the port is functioning at 10 Mbps. When the LED is on solid green, the speed is 100 Mbps.
