The tables below provide detailed descriptions of all blink patterns for the NetLinx Link/Act and Status LEDs on the
front of the Transmitter and Receiver units.
Note:
The term “light show” refers to the back-and-forth scanning pattern of the LEDs associated with the
LEDs on the DXLink Transmitter and Receiver.
DXLink Fiber TX/RX Operational State as Indicated by LEDs
To determine the operational state (normal boot) of a DXLink Fiber Transmitter or Receiver by its LEDs, check both the
Link/Act and Status LED columns.
Note:
DXLink units in Unidirectional or Data Link-lost Mode must be connected to a LAN to receive an
IP address (see “Unidirectional Mode LAN Configuration” on page 60).
