SECTION 2: COMMUNICATIONS PORTS AND DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACES
2-2
2.2.1.2
The lower green LINK LED indicates network activity. The LINK LED activity is de-
pendent on whether or not a valid network connection is established. The LINK LED
blinks when there is an active network connection. If the LINK LED does not light or
blink, then there is no valid network connection.
2.2.1.3
The lower yellow XMIT LED indicates 10BaseT network connection status. The XMIT
LED will light and stay on if there is a good 10BaseT Ethernet connection and will blink
when network traffic is being transmitted.
2.2.1.4
The upper green POL LED indicates the network socket polarity. The POL LED will
come on based on what the print server detects on the network. The POL LED activity
is dependent on whether or not a valid network connection is established. The POL LED
blinks when there is an active network connection. If the POL LED does not light or
blink, then there is no valid network connection.
2.2.1.5 The upper yellow RCV LED indicates 10BaseT network connection status. The RCV
LED will light and stay on if there is a good 10BaseT Ethernet connection and will blink
when network traffic is being transmitted or received.
2.2.2 IPDS Status Indicators.
A combination green/red IPDS LED status indicator located directly above the DIP
switches indicates the status of IPDS printing, diagnostic mode status and the status of
firmware installations.
•
The green IPDS LED will light and stay on when the IPDS interpreter is active
(Port 5001 is open - the IPDS service resides on PORT 5001 of the IntelliBar
AS Net print server). While in this mode the IntelliBar AS Net printer will
execute all IPDS commands and reply to all AFP queries. The printer will remain
in IPDS mode until the host terminates the session and closes the port. When the
port is closed the green IPDS LED will go out. Once port 5100 is closed other
clients can request printing services. Locking port 5100 while in active IPDS
mode ensures that a running print job is not interrupted by a print job request
from another client.
•
The green IPDS LED will light and stay on when the IPDS interpreter is in the
diagnostic mode awaiting diagnostic configuration or execution.
•
The green IPDS LED will flash when executing a diagnostic function.
•
The red IPDS LED will light briefly upon power up to indicate a self-test is being
performed. If the red IPDS LED lights and stays on, a fault condition is
indicated.
