Ethernet Port LEDs
Each Gigabit Ethernet port has two
built-in corresponding LEDs. The top
LED indicates 10/100 Mbps link and
activity status for the port while the bot-
tom LED indicates 1 Gigabit link and
activity status for the port. The appro-
priate LED displays green when a valid
Ethernet cable connection exists.
Flashes green as data is transmitted or
received on the port.
Refer to diagram on the bottom of the
NI for locations of the two (10/100 or
Gigabit) LEDs.
Ethernet Ports
The OS8-GNI-C24 and OS8-GNI2-C24
modules provide 24 10/100/1000 Ether-
net ports. These ports are twisted-pair
and are individually configurable as
10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseT.
The ports use RJ-45 connectors.
