LANVIEW

LEDs
The FDDI network adapters incorporate Cabletron’s LANVIEW
®
LEDs. LANVIEW LEDs indicate receive and transmit data, show
the status of the FDDI link, and indicate adapter error conditions.
The LEDs help you diagnose problems, such as a failure to
establish a link between the adapter and an active FDDI device at
the other end of the network segment.
