Setting Up and Testing the MAX Hardware
Interpreting the MAX LEDs
MAX back-panel
Figure 2-11 shows the MAX back-panel LEDs, which display the status of the Ethernet–
interface.
Figure 2-11. Ethernet interface LEDs on MAX back-panel
Note:
The MAX Classic back-panel has similar LEDs on the Ethernet expansion card if one
is installed. The MAX Classic has one LED for each possible Ethernet interface (10Base-T,
and COAX (10Base-2), which illuminate when the interface is in use. The ACT and COL
LEDs are the same as those on the MAX 6000.
Table 2-3 describes the Ethernet-interface LEDs.
Once you are familiar with the MAX LEDs, you are ready to start up the MAX.

Ethernet interface.
COL (Collisions)
On when the MAX detects packet collisions on the Ethernet.
FDX
On indicates full duplex on the Ethernet.
100BT
On, indicates 100BT. Off indicates 10BT.
LINK (Link integrity)
