Using Telnet 

Assign the Giga-AccessEtherLinX-II an IP Address or use the default IP Address 
10.10.10.10, subnet mask 255.0.0.0 before using a Telnet session.  All configurations 
done via the console port can also be performed using Telnet.  The user should only 
open one Telnet or RS232 console session at a time.  Do not use an RS232 console 
session and a Telnet session at the same time as unexpected results may occur. 

LED Operation 

 

Downlink Ports 

LNK/ACT  Glows green when link is established on port. 

Blinks green during data activity on port. 

FDX/COL  Glows green when port is operating in Full-Duplex. 

Blinks green when collisions occur on port. 
No display when port is operating in HDX
