Workstation 4 LX Does Not Connect to the LAN
Symptoms: The workstation is connected to the server via the LAN, but
communications can not be established.
The RJ45 LAN connector on the rear panel includes a pair of LEDs to assist with
basic LAN troubleshooting, shown in Figure 5-5 below.
Figure 5-5: Workstation 4 LX LAN Indicator LEDs
The Link/Connection speed LED shown on the left indicates a valid link (connection)
while the color indicates the connection speed. The connection speed is automatically
negotiated when the cable is connected. When you connect a LAN, the LED should
glow either Orange or Green to indicate that a connection has been established at the
speed indicated.
However, this does not mean the Workstation will actually be able to communicate
with the server. This is because the link LED operates at the physical layer of the
network, and does not require an operating system, network drivers, or TCP/IP
address to function.
As long as power is applied, the Ethernet controller in the hub or switch produces
‘Link Beat Pulses’ that are detected by the Ethernet controller in the WS4 LX causing
it to illuminate the appropriate Link LED. Likewise, the Ethernet controller in the
WS4 LX is producing the Link Beat Pulses which are picked up by the Ethernet
Controller in the hub or switch, causing it to illuminate its Link LED.
WS4 LX will not Connect to LAN (Link LED OFF)
Symptoms: When the WS4 LX is connected to the LAN, but LED1 or LED2 do not
illuminate. In the OS, the system tray network icon (next to the clock) displays a Red
‘X’.
•
Mis-wired network connector at the workstation or network device wall plate.
(this is more likely in a new installation).
•
Disconnected or defective or damaged patch cable at the WS4 LX or network
device.
